My little ones so adore doing what ever they are told
that they jump for joy at the prospect of school and chores!

O.k. maybe they are still learning to appreciate rules,
and perhaps they they aren’t always quick to jump to action
when told to do something. But one thing I know for sure
is that I’ve hit on something golden in the are of chores!

My three love to clean anything and everything! In fact I’m hard put to find chores tht are safe for little hands to do, as they are constantly asking me if there are any chores they can do!

If I stand over them and direct, they soon tire of the task -But left to what they believe is “doing it all by themselves “they stick to it till the job is more than done! They really do a good job and I’m thrilled that they are thrilled, and so busy not getting into trouble!

We try to keep daily tasks fun and interesting by turning them into
games or simply special time with one of us- folding clothes with Daddy
or Mama doubles as a semi date, (much needed personal time
with each one of our children).

Of course our days aren’t just filled with exciting chores, there is loads of time for creating and playing and being silly! Even homeschool has gotten easier with a few incentives in the picture- Praise God for Creative ideas!!!!!!
