Grr. Just lost my post. I'll try again.
We do the same thing as Sabrina. Its a bit harder b/c we only have them e/o weekend. When we hear that one or both have been lying at their mom's we discuss that too. We stress to them that if they lie they break trust. Also one thing that has worked a bit better is telling them that if they would tell us what happened in the first place they might get in some trouble. However, if we find out that they lied about something they would be in a lot more trouble than if they had just been honest with us in the first place. Besides taking toys away, we've taken privileges. Like if they were suppose to spend time with their cousins, they aren't allowed to. If its only one that was lying then she has to stay home while the other one can go play.
I agree with Sabrina. How is pouring water on them to wake them up going to help with the lying? And I definitely wouldn't want to be woken up that way.
