I did mention it being a lucky thing that there was no soup for dinner, and yes they finally did eat everything. I think they are finally learning that I am not a kidder and that I mean business.

I just want to know.....did they finally eat everything? And the ice cream for dessert....how did that go over? Good thing soup wasn't on the menu, that would have been a very quick meal!

While, i don't have kiddo's of my own, yet, I have had my brother over for 4 days while my dad is in the hospital. Life is crazy! You are truly my inspiration!!! If Emily can do it I can do it!<br /><br />Also love the food on the table! It's wonderful psychology, cause if you had set they table they would learn they didn't have to listen. I love it.<br /><br />When my dad was a child and they ate to quickly, not proper table manners, his parents would put the plates on the floor and insisted that if they ate like dogs at the table then they would eat where the dogs did. On their hands and knees just using their face.

I can remember eating off the table a few times growing up . . . i think I turned out pretty okay too, even after such a severe punishment!<br /><br />you are a trooper!
