Mission:To remind Mom and Dad who the real bosses are in this house
Izak: Hey Landon, I've been thinking that you and I have been too well behaved lately and mom and dad are beginning to forget who's really in charge. Don't you think so too?
Landon: Uh-huh
Izak: So, I've got a plan to remind them of their place in this family. Want to hear it?
Landon: Uh-huh
Izak: I'm thinking that we should convince mom to let me eat some bright red jello jigglers and then immediately afterwards I'll throw up all over the carpet, that way we'll be sure to stain the carpet so she'll always have a visual reminder of who's in charge. Do you like that idea Landon?
Landon: Uh-huh
Izak: Okay, after that, I'll wait until she cleans it up and then immediatley throw up again on the floor. When she tries to put me to bed, I'll continue to throw up about 5 more times to remind her that I go to bed when I'm good and ready. Then, I'll wait for dad to come home. Cause you know, he's just as much at fault as mom is. I'll let him think he's getting out of it easy, and just as he's peacefully falling asleep, I'll begin throwing up about 10 more times until about 2am. How does that sound Landon?
Landon: Uh-huh
Izak: Okay, listen up Landon because here comes your part. The next afternoon, just when mom and dad are starting to breathe a sigh of relief that I've stopped throwing up, that's where you come into play. You then begin throwing up. Not just anywhere, but in your bed. That way mom and dad have to do more wash-which really cuts them deep since we have no washing machine and dryer. Wait until mom has changed the bedding and then throw up again, to maximize the laundry duty. Then toss in a few more throw ups throughout the rest of the day. Now, I'm counting on you Landon to step up and do your part. Are you up for the task Landon?
Landon: Uh-huh
And this is what Dave and I did to get even with them...
Yep, it's true...Dave and I went to Hawaii. My brother and sister-in-law were kind enough to invite us to go with them and stay in a beach house on the North Shore. We had such a great time. Just a few of the highlights were...going to Pearl Harbor, Sky Diving, Jumping off a 30-feet high rock, going on a "short" hike (and rescuing a pregnant woman!), snorkeling, boogie boarding, going to the Polynesian Culture Center, Sea kayaking, and eating SO MUCH good food!

Kate--
you're so hilarious. And don't you know it. It's funny because Izak was at my house for a week and wasn't sick once. I guess the power struggle is just with you.
soooooooooo funny!!! No more jigglers, eh? The pics of Hawaii look great! It looks like you guys had so much fun.
luisa-i have no idea what you're talking about. i NEVER have power struggles with my child.
kat-you're absolutely right about the jello jigglers. in fact, the other day we went to the store and i told izak he could pick out what types of jello he would like to get and we could make them together and he said, "no mommy, remember, they make me sick!"
