Yep, it's only what, the third week of summer? And my kids had the nerve to say the words "I'm bored"....you know, with that whiney tone..."MMOOOOMMMAAA, I'M BBOORRREED".
So, I told them I had something we could do and they all came running into the living room. I said, "We are all going to clean!!!"...more moaning. But, we did it. I made them run around putting things away in the living room, dining room and kitchen. Then we went to the laundry room. Each had a basket and they had to go put them all away (inspection to follow!!). Then we all took turns vacuuming and mopping. Who knew my kids were such experts at moving chairs in and out, so the other person can clean underneath the table!!
Needless to say, they are happily playing Mr. Potato head now and i haven't heard a PEEP from any of them.
TO BE CONTINUED..."momma I'm bored"....."okay kids, let's go scrub toilets!"
