Usually on Tuesday's we pick Port up from school, grab a treat, and then head home for naps so that mommy can meet with girls. Today when we got home, no one seemed too interested in nap time. After listening to the boys play in their room for about an hour, I decide to go interrupt. (I push nap time on my kids because they are almost unbearable without them...if not today for sure tomorrow) I walk in to find them in the top bunk together giggling. So I decide to use a little Danny Silk (Loving Your Kids on Purpose) on them....
"Hey guys are you tired?" -mom
NO! - boys
"I have some things you could do if your not tired..." - mom
Great! - boys
"I need you to pick up the dog poop in the backyard"- mom
"Awesome! This is so much fun! You are the best mom in the whole world for letting us pick up the dog poop. Will you let us help you again!" -boys
So they didn't actually get the concept, but it made for a funny memory that's for sure! I also got the dog poop picked up, pack porch swept, upstairs cleaned, boys bedroom cleaned, and doors washed...didn't turn out so bad for me I guess!?!
