Yesterday, OP actually got home before dinner time (the first time in I don't know how many weeks), so he took the girls outside for an impromptu game of soccer. Normally, they would have had a lot of fun, but Piper had refused to nap earlier, and that always puts here in such a good mood (that was sarcastic, if ya didn't know).
Every time I kicked the ball, Piper cried.
Every time Orrin kicked the ball, Piper cried.
Every time Adi kicked the ball, Piper screamed.
And every time the girls would bump when they were chasing after the ball, Piper's screams would reach a glass-shattering decibel. Now this screaming thing has been happening frequently lately, and I have set a consequence for it: soap in the mouth.
So after about the 10th warning, I had to drag Piper inside, set her in the chair, and give her soap. I set the timer for only 1 minute, but then she screamed again. Seriously.
So her punishment time was tripled.
She stopped screaming after that... instead she folded her arms across her chest and "humph" every time Adi got near her or the ball.
Hey, it's better than screaming!

I love the huge dollop of glue Addi has on her paper, and the sticking out tongue is very cute.
