This year's break has been very mixed. I feel very lucky that we were able to get away at all, given the economy, so don't want to complain. However, the girls did not get along at all! It has been terrible. Constant picking, criticizing, complaining about each other. If they can't get along on vacation, when can they? I know I can't expect them to want to be around each other all of the time, but I do want them to look out for each other and not compete (she got more milk, no fair, I wanted that one!, she is such a jerk! etc.) As I type I hear L yelling at Z about not having gotten a turn yet. It never ends!!! What is the answer to fixing this?
On a bright note, they are all doing very well with their skiing and I think being a skiing family has stuck. Despite my lesson, I feel like I have made no progress in moving to the next level, despite being in better shape this year. We leave tomorrow and after a stop at the K's for a quick overnight we will be home Sunday and I can't wait. Spring is going to be a new beginning for this family.
