Calming Bottle
Adam sent me a link to a time-out trick, which I immediately ran out and bought the supplies to create. We've been doing it for a little over 24 hours now, but I'm totally sold on it. Sit the offender in a chair, shake the bottle, set it down, and they're not to be released from timeout until the glitter settles (which, for the one we made, is about a minute). It not only gives a specific and clear amount of time, but it gives them something to focus on and something to calm them. Plus, we had fun making it!

Bearing Fruit
We got a request from a neighbor who saw our "TAKE THESE PLUMS OMG" sign. She wanted to have a whole bag to herself, so the next day we delivered two bags to her. She and her friend love canning, so they planned to whip up some jam. This morning we opened the front door and found a present: buried in some colorful tissue paper were a bunch of treats. She gave us one jar of plum jam, two jars of Oregon strawberry, and some peanut butter to go with them!
