Don't Forget...to do your chores!

Yep, Joel B. has FORGOTTEN to fold the laundry for several days...hmmm. Hudson and Benjamin had a great time playing in the clean laundry on my bedroom floor. I'm just not sure why the kiddos are such stinkers lately but they are not wanting to do their chores. School has been great so far but lately they are really testing me in many ways. Am I the only parent on earth having this problem these days?
So...I found these cookies at Walmart...Don't Forget... (Great Value Brand). My plan was to get them for the little kids but it turns out that it has been working for the older ones,too. If they complete a task, they get one cookie. I tell them Don't Forget to do your chores....and the cookie is yours. I'm always open to trying new things and seeing what works. I need all the help I can get lately.

Trina,

Love the cookies! We need those at our house! I'm considering homeschooling the older 2 next year. I may need to swap emails with you about curriculum and things. Have a great week!

Hugs,
Robin
