Winter Blues

I don't know if it is because we are inside more than not but the kids are acting very spoiled. It has been very frustrating for them to play with toys and then just leave them. When I ask them to pick them up I get a no. This is starting to wear on my patience - big time. Today at lunch Tommy decided to play Cookie Monster with his Cheez Its and had them all over the floor. That boy is going to start learning how to stand in time out - the problem is - I have to stand there to make sure he doesn't move delaying the clean up process which frustrates me further. I'm starting to cut back their Wii time because some days it just makes them mean and nasty if they don't get their way. How many more days until Spring??
