We have a list of family rules that has been on the fridge for the past 7 or so years. These are the basics. You get a punishment if you break one of these rules. 
There are also some other rules that we have incorporated over the years. Such as:
1. "You show it, You share it." This usually pertains to treats, but can apply to almost anything.
2. "You wake him, you take him." That's right, if you can't be quiet during nap-time, you have to take care of a grumpy baby.
3. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit."
4. "If you're going to stink up a bathroom, don't use the one by the kitchen."This one doesn't actually rhyme, but it is arguably the most important!
I know that before long, we will be worrying about curfews and things like that, but for now, it's pretty easy to remember our rules and easy to enforce them, too. There's nothing that a good "time-out" can't cure for the little guys and the threat of "no nintendo" makes the big boys quiver in their boots!

Ummm, I think you're forgetting one of the first rules of the Moore household: no smoking.
Dave's convinced that someone in the family is also afraid of little people. Is this true???????
