I could use some advice on what to do when your kids get along too well. These three can fight like any other siblings...but for the most part they LAUGH. They are constantly laughing -- in church, at the computer, while playing imaginary games, outside, in the bathroom -- they LAUGH. I know, I know -- I should be happy they are laughing, I know I should -- but Philip and I find ourselves asking them to quit laughing lately. Again, I know -- we shouldn't ask them to stop laughing. Laughter is the best medicine right?
But to be quite frank. They are DRIVING ME CRAZY!
I still love them, does that count for anything?

Could it be all of the excitement from Christmas or maybe all of the sugar???? At least that is why my girls have been so crazy and laughing too! Your kids are so cute. It's good to see your Mom on here.
Take care,
Kimberly
I loved seeing all of your pictures from Christmas! This picture of these 3 guys is SO cute!! Frankly, I don't have too much sympathy for your dilema! ;) heehee How cool is it that they all not only LOVE each other, but LIKE each other. That is a true blessing! I like the sidebar pics of them too. They are getting so big!
I hope you don't mind, but I copied your saying about why you blog because that was so perfect!
For the most part, i think that it's incredibly healthy to laugh. But i also think that it's essential to fight with your siblings when youre young, so youre not awkward around them when youre older. So if youre constantly laughing around your siblings, youre developing an even better relationship with them. Be grateful for it while it lasts, they'll be at each other's throats again after new year's!!
I find myself telling my kids to "please stop" as they start getting hyper and goofing off- but their reply is always, "we are just playing, don't you want us to play together?"
Reality check. Is it better to have them laughing and playing or fighting and yelling? Both is needed, one is definetly better than the other, but ultimately, that's what makes them brothers and sisters. They need to experience all to appreciate eachother. ~ I guess we should just go in another room or carry some cotton balls for your ears.
Yes, of course you can add us to your sidebar thingy! :)
My advice, take it or leave it, is be glad they laugh a lot and enjoy life. Lighten up and laugh with them, you'll all be better off for it. "Men are that they might have joy." Children show it at a different level perhaps than we "adults" do, but if the sound of children laughing "drives us crazy" it's time for a checkup.
Well Dad we will take the laughter for sure. I seem to remember you and mom always telling is to take our noise outside or mom saying "in or out" or something like that. We wouldn't change a thing. It is great to have kids that love each other but it is nice to have a little peace and quiet once and a while too.
Love you
Philip
Maybe they got the laughing thing from me:)! I know what you mean tho...I always sent you guys outside but it's hard to do that in the winter storm! Maybe to the basement in a positive manner?? Whatever...you guys are doing a fantastic job (as evidenced by the laughing!)
Ah, I am with Bart on this one... lighten up and enjoy their laughter... time grows thin and then next thing ya know they are 18
You have a very peaceful home. It's just the holidays are TWO WEEKS long.
