It wasn't until Baby #6 that Darin and I realized how loud it was getting in the house and began to feel the need to apply certain measures in order to keep the peace. We get it now. Lotsa kids=lotsa running through the house, screaming, jumping out at others from behind doors, loud singing, and the loudest of all....crying. We've started using phrases we've laughed at our entire parenting career such as "your inside voice" and "children should be seen and not heard." ;-)
Our focus right now is the breakfast/lunch/dinner times. Darin and I usually go to Starbucks on our date nights because by the time we can get out of the house, there's really nowhere else to go. Last week we took my laptop and researched table manners and found a video on YouTube that is an oldie but goodie. We watched with the kids this past weekend and are going to implement a lot of what we saw.
