Sour. And I tell you what, an hour of hauling manure in the barns, and suddenly - we have the grouchies all chased away by that fresh air and sunshine and SWEAT.... "Hard" labor really makes a person feel good inside and gives them a sense of accomplishment!

I have a feeling he will give a resounding thumbs up. :) And congrats on sweet little Blaise! Your family is big and beautiful and so inspiring!

It's the buying of the pants that make me absolutely nuts. I'm with you on the "do all the things before they start moving out" thing. Knowing that each year for the next 4 years one of my kids will be moving out (In 4 years, I'll only have 2 kids at home!!!!) is making me hyperventilate and spoil them. (Although, the opposite is true, too. I've been muttering in my head, as I rearrange the dishes in the dishwasher yet again, "Only one more year until I won't have him throwing dishes in my dishwasher all willy nilly.) :)<br />We are a Kids Do Chores! family, too. It is nothing but good for them. It's trickier when kids get to high school, especially when they are participating in school sports. While games going until 10:00 at night get them off a little easier, they aren't excused from doing chores on non-game days.<br />And thanks for the new word. I had never heard of roguing.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-34985874429123501462016-07-27T12:10:08.986-07:002016-07-27T12:10:08.986-07:00Count, not sound!

Your boys do all of that as well:) <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16623350308197825002noreply@blogger.com
