Chores

2008-07-02T12:00:00.000-07:00

The children at Angel House will begin doing some chores to help the staff and contribute to the household.

I didn't get a pic of it but I had 5 kids downstairs help me pick up trash after graduation on Sunday. We also had Jonas, Mia, Hope and Samara help wash down some of the outside toys. The children absolutely loved it!

It's a start - and certainly something that should continue. With Sandy and Madame Valet getting the children to make their beds and fold their sheets and help with breakfast we are well on our way to getting some good habits formed!

I just got an email that some of the girls were helping that laundry staff wash underwear too and put it on the line to dry! Geez - I need to get my kids at home to do that!

Saturday Morning Breakfast Assembly Line

2008-07-02T11:20:00.000-07:00

Shannon again.

I loved watching Sandy organize the older kids into an assembly line of sorts to help serve breakfast. The kids love to help and everyone had their specific job:

Belle helped mix the eggs and milk.

Samendia portioned out the scrambled eggs.

Steven was in charge of the plates and utensils

Mia put the toast on the plates (don't have a pic)

Reece passed out the Spam.

And Shakira had managerial oversight and made sure people weren't slacking off.

I didn't get a picture of Sandy propping her feet up on the table and sipping her coffee while all the kids did the work. HeeHee.
