Lately I've been feeling the need to bring some peace and order back into our home. With three littles, things can get pretty fun around here as far as sharing toys, sharing mom, and using "inside voices". Tonight for FHE I wanted to focus on love at home. I spent the morning making heart shaped donuts. The littles enjoyed shaking them in bags of cinnamon and sugar. We munched the odds and ends for a pre-nap snack. For Family Home Evening we sang awesome songs like this one and decided on a few "Home Rules" for us all. We still have a few more to add to the list. Mr. Stannix became very poetic during rule making. I love his last two additions to the list, seriously.
We wanted to get the kids excited about being kind so we now have an empty jar on the top of my piano. Each time the children do something kind, they get to put a button in the jar. Just before bed Camilla asked if she could give Joseph a kiss. She then picked a big button because "it was a big kiss". I am excited to fill up our little jar with acts of kindness this week!

Are you working toward some sort of reward when the jar is full?
Going out for ice cream ;)
