Child Labor


Okay so this isn't really child labor. This one is just so you can see our new humble abode.

The child labor starts here. Nathan is wanting a aircraft carrier from Toys R Us. It's $30.00 and I told him he had to earn the money if he wanted to get it so...he's been buggin' us for extra chores. He gets an allowance ($4/week) but he needed around $15 more and he's not a patience individually. (have no idea where he gets that from) We've actually had a hard time finding things for him to do because we require he do some stuff as his weekly chores. He volunteered to clean out the car and Chris was so excited he didn't have to do it that he agreed to Nate $5. That's more then I would have paid but whatever.


I see his future High School job as a car detailer. He's a hard worker. Granted it's 8am and still 85 degrees outside but you have to up and at 'em here in the south otherwise you might die of heat stroke.

Way to go Nathan and Chris for getting out of cleaning the car. I can't wait until my boys are old enough for such labors. Well let's face it I would settle for them just stopping tearing their books apart in the back seat.

i always knew nathan would be a hard worker...he's such a good kid all the way around.

the spider business is yucky. i bet you miss the good old days of daddy long legs that never bothered you. i thought those were gross when i was little. but a black widow certainly tops them.

it's good to see your house. it looks really nice. we should be wrapping things up soon on this place we have a contract on...so i'll send along some pics when it's just a little more finalized.

I love your house! Can we have some of those trees in the back? That spider will give me nightmares tonight for sure.
