chores

chores have begun.  

allowing small children to actually do chores inevitably makes more work for mother.

some times she really gets into the spirit and tries to help in other areas.

i keep telling myself that these are the things to let go of so if you see smeary glass at our house you know that it is rather likely that it was 'cleaned' with a clorox wipe.

it has become clear though that participating in daddy's chores is more fun.
