Mormons
I saw this picture and couldn't help but laugh my butt off. At least someone had a good time.

Ryan
As John was tucking Ryan into bed, Ryan looked very thoughfull and said, "Girls get jewlery...... but boys get mankind named after them." Jeez that kid!

Whew.......
Wow. Where did March go. It seems like I run and run and nothing much gets done. I've been called to be in the scouting program. I'll be "den mother?" for the bears which is Ryan's age. It's either going to kill me or make me wish to be dead. Now that's not terribly positive is it. I'm sure it will be great. Right?
Work is busy, busy. My block of business is growing exponentially. We currently have a little over 1,000 plans and shortly we'll have a little over 10,000. Yup you read that right. Ahhhhhh.
I'm attaching pictures of my creation. It's a chore chart for my kids. I'm super excited. I've been trying to figure out a way to let my kids 'own' their chores. I don't want them to have to come to John and I and say, OK what do you need me to do next. I wanted them to have a way of looking at something and being able to tell themselves.
Each stick is color coded.
Umm that may or may not be dinner in the picture. Whoops.
Green = Daily chores
1. Put Laundry away
2. Clean Room
3. Check/Change Bedding
4. Homework
5. Brush Teeth
6. Shower/Bath
Yellow = 15 min chores
These are things like: vacuuming the upstairs/downstairs, sweeping and moping, bathrooms
Red = paying chores
Things like: Yard work, cleaning the cars, cleaning the fridge, washing walls
Blue= 10 min chores
Things like switching laundry, dusting
The kids will each have to pick several of the yellow and blue and complete them. I've got two holes in the name block, one for to do and one for done. Awesome isn't it.
