I didn't get Eliza Janes cute pictures of scrubbing pots and pans and turning out lights. Thanks! It is difficult to get the pictures on the blog sometimes.

Sophia practices piano 1/2 hour and wins the prize

Elise made it through

Elise made it through babysitting those cute Lindsey kids. I will admit they were not too cute throwing up. One got the bug and as I told Elise, it will go through the whole family. Luckily Elise didn't get sick but didn't get too much sleep the whole time the parents were in Hawaii. Jeanne got a much needed and deserved break.
Cooper had his ball games and practices and even though they were not feeling well they got to watch movies in the car as he was in the gym. Miles threw up in the car. Elise got some really good movies at the thrift stores so they at leasat had good entertainment while they were sick. Cleaning up after the sickness isn't too much fun but I guess it comes with the job. Now because of the storm in Seattle she is staying a whole week longer. She has missed church 2 weeks and they were all unhappy about that. Live will soon be back to normal. Don't know anyone who could have handled the situation any better and it was one time Jeanne didn't have to deal with it and could go out and have a nice time. Not easy to take the place of both parents with 6 kids. Glad Jeanne isn't a worrier or her time could have been ruined.

The winning job is cleaning the bathrooms.

Here are a few very cute pictures so keep them coming! Hyrum's picture was cleaning the bathroom and he gets $5.00. (I will admit an unfair hint but noone was sending pictures) No child gets hints more than one time. Very cute of Lydia also. Jaxon nearly won as he was the only other with a picture in the catagoy chosen. We have drawn a new winning job from the listings 20-24.Turn out light, hand scrub pots and pans, etc., Reverent in Church,(take a picture of your child after church and send if he was reverent the whole time. Happy working together with no arguing, practice talents 1/2 hour a day. This can include anything that is a talent and not just music. Thanks for your efforts.

St. George Cousins caught doing their Jobs

Lindsey Barben was caught emptying the dishwasher and it is Jaxon barely visable in this picture vaccuming the family room. Way to go Jaxon. Keep sending pictures when you catch your child doing a job and sending via phone is fine. 208-739-6038

Juliet wins prize by brushing her teeth.

I couldn't get the picture on but as soon as she heard of an intended prize she went into the bathroom and took a picture of herself brushing her teeth. That was the exact job I had drawn for the 2nd drawing. She won a cute little makeup bag she wanted to win as a gift for her cousin. The next drawing will include job items 11-16 which include dusting, vacuuming, sweeping and mopping, cleaning bathrooms, and cleaning the car.

I already got a photo of lily dusting the TV. When talking to Aunt Micheline she commented on Brigham vacuuming the family room in the back ground. Can't wait to see a picture of that fine boy. The list of requirements for cleaning is on the first blog. Preschool children are not expected to do as much as the older children.

Cooking snacks, dusting, emptying dishwasher, cleaning up messes, are some of the jobs the cousins are practicing.

Danny Wins at Jobs Game

Our visit with the Jensen's produced our first winner to the contest. Thisis just so fun seeing the kids do jobs and work. We hope all the grandchildren learn to work fast and hard and enjoy doing their jobs. It was a little unfair cause grandma took the pictures but oh well we had to start somewhere. The job we drew was cleaning your room. I caught Danny cleaning his room so found this cool Sequence for Kids Game that he can play with his brothers. I will send it soon. Liz suggested that we just choose 5 to work on at a time so the next drawing will be 6-10 on the chart.

Love those boys making their beds and saying prayers. Joey didn't think the top bunk was any hinderance and hopped right up there. Davy managed a 3 blanket bed. These kids are super.
