8 days (4-28-12) http://half-a-dozen-kids.blogspot.com/2012/04/8-days.html
The kids are on summer break now & with five kids here half the week it can be hectic at times. They are all old enough & capable of picking up after themselves & helping keep this house functional. Sometimes they get a little lazy sometimes though or they just think someone should pick up after them all the time. So today we made a responsibility chart for the house. So far they love it. They have daily jobs that have to be done in the morning & at night plus they have reminders to pick up after themselves throughout the day so it's not as much work at night. They also each have two jobs that will change weekly through rotation. They each got to pick their jobs today through a random drawing & we will keep those jobs together through the rotations. I think the favorite job on the list is "supper helper" & Harley is proud to have that job this week. Also on their board is their bath schedule & tv schedule. This way their will be no more arguing over who is going to take a bath first/next or who gets the tv remote each night.
Today while we were sitting in the living room watching TV Peanut started barking & wouldn't stop. I kept telling him to hush but he just kept barking. I got up to see what he was barking at and this is what I saw....
The kids & I were terrified. I hate snakes & Bobby was at work so I called him. He said to go to the neighbors and have him come kill him. He came down here & didn't have anything to kill him with so he got a stick, but the snake got away. He was pretty big. The kids were scared to go back outside until Bobby got home.
