When we're helping, we're happy...

I just taught Tessa to mow the lawn (she & I did the front lawn together), then PJ mowed the back yard, and Jonah & Clay swept off the sidewalk & driveway. Next up...four kids folding laundry! It's great having kids old enough to help out so much! I ♥ my kiddos! Of course they aren't ALWAYS happy to do chores, and some kids are more willing than others, but I really do appreciate all their help...even if I sometimes have to "encourage" them by threats or bribery! :)
