Today Topped Yesterday!

Ok, now I can say their true colors have been shown. Talk about a challenge. Two sisters that have always been together that have to be kept separate because they can not play well together for more than two minutes. Yes I timed it! At times they are so nice to each other, but when one tells the other no, all hell breaks loose. I think today was the longest day ever. We are trying to get everything packed and having to keep peace in the house too. I know it's not easy for them and we have been trying our best to keep them busy, but a day full of not listening and talking back is just crazy. Five tantrums between the two, and they even took short naps, watched movies at rest time, went to Walmart, and rode bikes. I have never heard screams like I have heard today. I have never heard children say such mean things as I have heard today. From blocking doors, to guarding the punches and kicks, to having to carry a child to their room. Whew! I feel like I am doing something wrong! 
The apologies are sweet and seem to be genuine, but then it happened all over again. I know this must be so hard for them to comprehend. And I am hoping that Monday will go smoothly.
