The kids and I have just been at each other all day, probably just coming down off the weekend full of activity. Anywho, after dinner, the noise was reaching an all time high and I just couldn't take it anymore. So I said, let's turn on the timer for 2 minutes. I want you all to just make as much noise as you can, scream it out baby! And afterwards we are done with noise. No more for the evening. So we did! Scream and scream, and I checked the timer and it had only been 40 seconds! After about a minute I was sitting on the floor trying not to die of laughter and Keith and the kids were running up and down the hall like Kevin in Home Alone (waving their arms above their heads). It was hilarious. Totally worth it. It broke up all the tension, and so far they have been nice and quiet since then. I may have to do this more often.

smart idea.
That is the smartest thing I've ever heard. Next time I have to babysit I'll remember that!
cute, cute, CUTE! Too bad you don't have footage ;)
Ooo, good idea Jenny! Next time, for sure! Breaking out the camera :D
Found you on Pastor Ryan, hope you don't mind me lurking on YOUR site.
Love this idea! I may have to use it this summer when my brothers family of 8 and my family of 4 are traveling the PCH for three weeks...
What a great idea!
