It's a hard knock life!

MAKE THAT BED!
SCRUB THAT FLOOR!
POLISH MY SHOES!
AND I MEAN........ START..........
NOW!
IT'S A HARD KNOW LIFE FOR US!



Saturday mornings is rarely a time for saturday morning cartoons and lazy lounging for the kids in the Wise house.

OH NO!

It's a time where if I gotta get up and clean, so do they.

On the weekend, my kids become slaves, and I think that now that spring has sprung, it just got worse for them.

YARD WORK is added to their list of Saturday morning to do's, as they help Hubs tend to those wonderful outdoor duties.

Right now, my house has the refreshing smell of Clorox and carpet fresh wafting through the air. The boys are on POOP PATROL outside picking up the wonderful little gifts that Ginger has been leaving for them all week.

Ahhhh, the joy of having kids! They take the load off of my household duties!

Ewww, the dreaded poop duty! My daughters hated that chore. They would take forever because it was the worst!!

It's good that you are instilling responsibility in them early. So many parents don't do that until they are in their teens and then they start saying, "Why doesn't he clean his room?" Because maybe you didn't make him responsible for it at a young age!!

We have a dog named Ginger. I never thought to put the kids on poop patrol. Thanks for the idea.
