I told Shane to stop playing his video games and to go upstairs and start folding laundry and that’s what he did. 🙂

It is time that they can help out with chores. Doing chores around the house is part of their allowance and they are pretty good about doing them. Well. Sometimes. We decided to give the kids their weekly allowances last year but I always forget to because I never carry cash around…but Shane’s good about keeping track of how much I owe him though. 

Celebration continues for my mom’s birthday. Thank you for always being there for us and being my role model, my best friend, & my mom…

My parents came back from their little getaway and we planned a surprise brunch for my mom’s birthday. Chloe helped with most of the food preparation and keeping my parents from coming to the kitchen 😉

Happy birthday! We love you so much~~

My parents have been so good, always cooking and cleaning for us and picking up the kids from school while they stay with us. This week is my mom’s birthday week so they decided to take a little gateway to down the shore for a few days.

As soon as they’re gone I feel like I’m back to crazy busy schedule instantly. I just picked up the kids from school and when we got home, I was busy putting away groceries and start preparing for dinner. Chloe always helps me get grocery bags from the car and brings them to the kitchen then puts to away to designated places without me having the ask her.

Shane sees me that I was busy and asked me if he can help me with dishes. What good kids I have. 🙂

Shane was a goalie today!

Great job Shane!

Nicely done!
