Today was a normal Tuesday, skating and swimming lessons. Fortunately the Husband was off work, so he was home to help. I love the days when he is off, it really helps me around the house. The older kids have been difficult. They make gigantic messes around the house and they never clean anything up. We were trying to figure out if this is always the way it has been, and I just notice or it is worse because we are home all the time, or if this is a new thing. The other day I found toothpaste in the hall! How does one get blue gel toothpaste on the carpet in the upstairs hall? So we decided to assign chores. They used to do chores for money, but it never worked. So this time they will be doing chores for the privilage of playing with their exsisting toys. Is that mean? The Girl will have to clean the family room and sweep the kitchen floor. They Boy will need to vaccume anything that has carpet and take out garbage and recycling. What things do you do to get your kids to help out around the house?
Today at swimming (which both kids passed!!) my parents came to watch. My Mom made a quilt for the Baby (the third one!). It is so adorable and will look great in his room. She makes such pretty and creative quilts, this time I had to share a photo of it. I should mention that it is made of flannel, so it is so soft and warm.
