Yesterday, we went to Sweet Ideas to pick some more old fashion candy. We enjoyed walking around the store. When I picked up a "grow a new sister" item the plastic came off of the cardboard so the owner gave it to Emily. We paid for our chosen items and left.
We then drove to Walmart to pick up a few groceries. When I was helping Emily out of the van I realized she had some Laffy Taffy in her hand. I was rather disappointed to find out that she had stolen two pieces of candy. I took the candy and the "grow a new sister" from her. We told her that she had to give the stuff back and apologize.
Ben and I talked and later realized that something was up. After we left the store James kept bothering us for his candy and Emily didn't ask at all for hers. During our talk we had decided that Emily had to give the sister back as part of her punishment.
She did a good job of apologizing to the store owner and I made her give back the "sister" which was the only reason why she was upset.
We ended up giving James his candy because he didn't steal anything. It's not like Ben & I got something and the kids didn't. Matthew was the only one who didn't get anything, but if you talk to my kids then Matthew got "Almond Joy Milk".
