Just a quick note as I am at work (not supposed to be on social networking sites and I am sure our IT dept will consider this one!)

FIL woke the skids (and DH and I) up this morning at 4am with the loudest whistle I have ever heard in my LIFE!! By 4:05 the skids were in the backyard doing... PUSHUPS!!! Except Skid#4, his arm is in a cast so he was doing crunches. They got an hour of excercise, including running around the block with FIL following them in a car!!

DH was out there playing drill seargant with FIL. I had my morning coffee and laughed myself sick, even met my new neighbors (male half came over to see if he could enroll his 2 skids in our 'morning program').

I love, love, love, love, love my FIL!! And if DH keeps it up he will get to join the rung of idol that FIL has already attained!

Love this outcome, too bad more of these snot nosed skids didn't have to go through this, it'd definetly change their behavior for the better. Keep us updated. I think you are an inspiration to us all.
