Chore Time


Lexee is to put all the backpacks in the basket. She also unloads the dishwasher.

Braeden loads the dishwasher & changes the laundry!

Talan helps Braeden by putting the garbage bags in the cans. Notice the bottom one, the sack is lying over the can... he's only 2.

This month I am going to focus my posts on things I am grateful for. Tonight, I am very thankful my children are FINALLY old enough to do real chores.

What a great thing to do...I love that you give them all chores...it will make them more grateful and appreciate what you do.

That is such a good idea. My 2 and 3 year old are washing their breakfast dishes right now. Although with all the water and soap all over I don't know if they are helping much.

Wow - themed again, I am ever impressed! Nice when they can do chores that you don't have to re-do once they are done.

I like the chores of "I am too lazy to get up and do this, so Talisa do this..."

What fantastic ideas - both to have your children help with family chores, but also to focus your blog on things you are grateful for!
