She Hearts Chores
Making my summer chore list for the children. When there is arguing or complaining or back talk there will be chores and more chores. Sarah read my list. Cleaning the cat food spot, scrubbing down the cupboards, sweeping and mopping the entryway, vacuuming the van etc. I did not get the reaction I was hoping for. She said, "Ooh. I love this one! I want to do that and that and that. Oh, that is my favorite! Yay! Can I do this one right now??" I believe that is called Defeating The Purpose of the chore list.

Send her over-lots more love at my house, sistah.
After she cleans my room and makes my bed. I am no fool.
That happened to me once. The chore was cleaning the kitchen floor grout with a tooth brush. It was going to be the time-out chore during vacation. All 4 grabbed a tooth brush and finished the floor in less than an hour. And they still remember how FUN that was.
I'm going to steal from your list. Although they might be confused about the "cat food spot" one, as we have no cat.
I don't know, but maybe Sarah read the story of Brier Rabbit in school this year! :-)
