Get Mad or Laugh?

With 3 three year olds, I get easily frustrated. (Which is something I work on every day!) Sometimes I wonder if I should have laughed instead of getting angry. This morning was the perfect example. Dave didn't get home until 1:00 am last night and I had a hard time sleeping due to a cough. We heard the kids wake up around 6:30 and told them to play in their rooms or watch the Disney Channel downstairs so we could get a little more rest. I finally got up about 8:15 and went downstairs to get the kids breakfast. I walk into the kitchen and all 3 kids are huddled around a kitchen chair where there is a dumped out bottle of red sugar sprinkles. Their hands and faces are red from eating it and there were sprinkles everywhere! I didn't yell, but I firmly told them that what they did was wrong and proceeded to wash them off. As I was washing off Connor's face, I wished that I would have laughed instead of talking sternly and taken a picture! It was so funny! I guess this is my life lesson for today. I am going to start laughing more at the funny things my kids do instead of getting angry.
