Sibling Rivalry

Since school started, Megan and Kellan have spent a lot less time around each other...well, except they ride the bus together every morning and go to Kids' Club after school together, and they share a room together, and eat meals together, and ride in cars together....you see where I'm going with this? They are either bickering until I want to cry or they are bestest friends....there doesn't seem to be much middle ground. Now that Kellan has started school, they have a bit more in common, which helps....but Kellan is still the pesky little brother who LOVES to bug his big sister and Megan is still the bossy big sister who LOVES to be in control at all times. Lately, we've been trying to think of ways to spend one-on-one time with them and give them a break from each other....kinda difficult when the kids outnumber the parents, but we're doing our best. I'm hoping a little break from each other will result in more moments like this:




Really, I think Jacksen is the smart one...he just stays out of their battles and does his own thing!
