Secret Friends

This week for FHE we decided to draw names to have a secret " friend" for the week. The idea was to increase the LOVE...and stop the kids from bickering so much.... We explain ofcourse, that it is a secret..ie...don't tell who you secret friend is...Well, the comedian of the family, Miss Ella didn't take long to have us all laughing...First thing she says is "SHHH!!!Hope, don't tell that you are my secret friend!!!
I gave everyone a candy bar...to give to their secret friend some time this week. We suggested hiding it, until you gave it away, to keep the secret of which bar you had. Ella was excited! But after a couple of days and almost all the candy bars given out we asked Ella privately if she needed some help making a note to go with her candy bar. She informs that she IS hiding the chocolate bar FROM her secret friend....in her room. We tried to explain, but she just cracks us up!
Sorry Hope....you may never get that chocolate bar!!!!
There have been random chores done, beds made, treats given out...and lots of love notes. It has been a great week so far!
I have some pics to post of the kids from the past while....I will try to get back on here later. I am hosting a baby shower for my Sister in Law, Christine, tonight...so I better get a move on it!!!
Hope everyone is having a great day!!

I was searching through your blog trying to find that blog that you were telling me about and came across this one. Ella cracks me up. Hiding the candy bar sounds like something my kids would do, lol.
