What a beautiful thing this is. I've never done chores for my kids because they don't really care about money, usually whatever they want - Grandpa will buy for them. So, when I put chores in place it usually lasts about a week. HOWEVER - when it's punishment, it must get done - no arguments. It is day 2 and not only have I not got even one single argument, he seems almost happy to be doing it. Typically, during my day I do at least 2 loads of laundry, fold, and put them away. I usually do at least one load in the dishwasher and put it away. I'll straighten up the house too. Now, I do the laundry, but I don't fold it. I start the dishwasher, but i don't put them away. My slave gets home and does it.

Now, he gets to experience what WEEKEND chores are. Hehehe. He's in for a super treat tomorrow. He asked to go hang out with some friends at the mall. I told Cinderella he could, but only if his chores are done. He knew better than to call me anything with "wicked" in front of it, although I saw the thought cross his mind.

Tonight we watch Despicable Me for Friday Night Movie Night. The kids have seen it, but we have not. Netflix doesn't have it until next week and of course it's going to be on "long wait", so it would probably be another week before we saw it, at least. I decided to just buy it. I already know the kids love it, and Maddie will probably watch it over and over and over again. It's time to return Beezus and Ramona to Netflix anyway, so she needs a new movie for her continuous rotation.

Joel's going to the Seahawk game tomorrow. He's pretty excited about it. I don't know how he's gonna sleep tonight. Dylan was disappointed he didn't get to go too, but the ticket was given by a friend and he only had one extra. Besides, Cinderella has some floors to wash.
