Today was chore day. The big guy had a to do list that he has been putting off for weeks and months. The house looks so much brighter now that light bulbs have been replaced throughout the house. He even installed double shower heads so the boys have one that is just their size. And the best thing of all, my dryer now dries in ONE load. I love it.
Now back to the lesson that didn't go as planned. The boys have a very bad habit of throwing all trash in any trash basket available. Gogurt wrappers, empty juice boxes, popsicle wrappers, etc. You get the picture, all sticky stuff, right? So I had three trash baskets that had a bunch of gunk all over the insides so I told the boys they needed to take them outside and wash them out. This will teach them to dispose of food trash properly. As I'm cleaning the bathrooms (my chore) I hear a lot of laughing outside. I know how hard it is for these two to concentrate on something without fooling around. So I go outside and they are playing with the hoses. Only in SoCal, two days before Christmas can you have a water fight outside. It was in the 70's today so I guess the water felt good. But, I don't think this ended up being the lesson it was supposed to be. I'll have to think of something else next time.
