I am so tired of my kitchen floor looking like one of those restaurants where you eat millions of peanuts, and drop the shells on the floor. I am equally tired of sweeping 17 times a day. Time to put the kids to work! It felt like it took them 3 weeks to finish- but they did a pretty good job.
This is about how it goes around here. Pyper working- and Elle doing ANYTHING else! She always comes up with a pretty good reason why she's not working. This time it was "I was keeping Crew away from the pile." Really she was trying to pick him up with the dust pan. I keep telling myself that it's good that she can come up with convincing excuses- because it means she is really smart and can think on her toes. But truth be told, It scares me to death!!!

Hi I'm Stacy sister Leslie. I love your blog and all your pictures. Anyway, You need to get the Swival Sweeper. Its at Wal-mart for like $30, I never use a broom anymore. It's seriously amazing and my kids fight over who gets to sweep the floor. Well worth the money. And I love the chalkboard wall.
Love this post! And I love that Pyper and Elle have their own blog, too! So funny!:) Okay, so my sister in law got one of those Roomba's for Christmas (they have 4 boys) and it saves her life everyday! But the kids need to learn hard work, right?:) LOVE LOVE LOVE the blogging!:)
What a great idea! I wonder if Andrew is ready to sweep the kitchen! I know what you mean about having to sweep mutiple times a day to keep it looking decent! I'll have to give this a try!
Hey Meghan, I like the blog. It looks like Elle is going to have a good future in politics. I'm all about putting the kids to work, Molly only has another year or two before she can start mowing the lawn as far as I'm concerned.
