Cleaning the House is Fun to Do!

Recently, the boys have decided that they wanted to earn money to buy some new toys, specifically, a new Transformer. Because apparently the roughly 95 Transformers we already have just aren't enough. So I told them if they wanted more, they had to earn the money for them. So they got to work! They were willing to do any chore I asked as long as they knew it was going toward their Transformer fund. They cleaned bathrooms, their room, vacuumed the whole house,  helped mop floors, pulled weeds outside, and washed walls. 

Even Landon was willing to help. He wasn't about to be left out of what his brothers were doing so he "helped" with some of the chores too.

They have done chores for a few weekends now, and have about half the money they need for their new Transformers, so they are well on their way. 

It's so nice to have kids old enough to help out with all the chores around the house!

The Toothless Grin!

A few months ago, Conner had discovered he had his first loose tooth. He was beyond excited, he has been waiting for this day for a few years, ever since his big brother lost his first tooth. I had kind of forgotten about it until a few weeks ago when he showed me how loose it was getting. A few days after that, I had just put them to bed, and had come back downstairs for some much needed R&R when I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. I was ready to get mad at whoever was trying to escape their bed, when Conner comes running in and showing us his tooth is super loose. He goes and shows Patrick, and before I knew it, his Daddy had pulled his first tooth out. Conner was so happy! He couldn't wait to leave his tooth for the tooth fairy!

He took his dollar he got from the tooth fairy, and some other money he'd saved up and made a trip to the Dollar Store. He was in heaven getting to pick out something. He chose a foam football and a Scooby Doo frisbee. He is such a funny kid, and is super cute with his new toothless grin. 

He now has his second loose tooth, and is already planning his next purchase with his tooth fairy money.
