Another snow day!

We are home again today...and I'm loving it! I am getting so many fun projects finished and that is good. :) I am ready to go back to school though, because if we have any more snow days that will take us into a new week at the end-of-the-year and that would not be as fun. Oh well, we can't change it so might as well enjoy it!

I finished DS2's baby book and did some cleaning out of supplies/reorganizing. The baby book is absolutely adorable...can't believe how fast they grow. Now, I'm ready to start DS3's. I will begin sorting through the pics in front of the fire as soon as I am finished here.

Last night I made this chore chart thing-a-ma-jig and wanted to share it, so I loaded the video below. If you want to see the list of notes that I used in these chore pockets, just let me know and I will send those to you. I also have chore charts for school and for summer that I have shared with some friends before....if you would like to see any of those, just let me know too. You don't have to have a Cricut to make this and you can use anything...cut envelopes in half and use those, put all the slips in a container and choose one each day, or whatever works to get the kids helping. I find that when the kids help we have a much nicer and calmer home, and we all get to spend time doing the things we love to do. Kids of any age can and should be helping out in the home...my boys have had some kind of responsibility in the house since they were old enough to make their own messes. There is nothing that says the Mom has to take care of everything in the home, and most of all I know that I am teaching my boys habits that will be best for them as they get older. Also, their wives will thank me one day! ;)

I have changed my profile pic to the left to show "our" squirrel...I was lucky enough to get a shot of him and what looks like his mohawk today! lol All this land and we never saw any squirrels for years...now this guy has been around for about a year (maybe a little more), and it's such fun to watch him. Well, time to get started on more projects...enjoy your day and thanks for visiting my blog!
