Contention!

Today was a great Labor Day! Not to much Laboring was going on! :) We went to the Ward Pancake breakfast at the park and Ashton was in the swing for a long time, he still loves the swing! Sierra was off with some friends. Then my kids were playing so nicely together in the sand making a sand snowman. Went and got In 'N Out for lunch but ate at home. Kids played and watched a movie, we read, took little naps and Jake watched some baseball. For dinner we went to Jake's parents house for a BBQ and enjoyed the company of several friends from the Ward (Greers, Teresa J., Dalton's and Kevin and Emily and their kids, CT), Aunt Leanne and Marne, Travis and Miriam.

Tonight we had a conversation with the kids about our cat...
Since we got the cat there has been a lot of contention in our home. The kids fighting over who gets to hold the cat. The cat crying because Ashton is pulling her tail or flinging her around or squeezing her. Then us yelling at Ashton to put the cat down. HORRIBLE STUFF!!! Our kids are on probation, no more fighting, no more torturing, NO MORE! Or the cat has to go which will make even me really sad because I love her, she has been a nice addition to our family but I cannot handle the yelling and fighting anymore. :( We'll see how we do... I love my kids tremendously but this is such a peaceful time of day...
