On Tuesday my kids helped me clean the house with the promise of something fun if they did it with out complaining.
We sent Patch off to school and got to work. About an hour into it they started asking for a break and food, it was like they had never worked so hard in their lives!
We only had about 1/2 hour left of work so being the prison warden that I am, I sent them back to work.
We finished just as I remembered there was no time for fun seeing as it was the busiest day of the week in our house. As soon as Patch got home we needed to eat and get Alexa to dance, then Caely was off to play practice and then time for her dance.
They thankfully forgave my empty mindedness and we traded in our fun day for Wednesday.
Of course, as soon as morning hit they wanted to be off. I told them we could go to see "The Spy Next Door" (cute kid movie btw) at the dollar theater. After the movie they were all giggles, they had so much fun! Then we headed to Sonic for their happy hour drinks. It's funny how much fun 5 people can have for $9. The rest of the day all I heard was what a great day it was.
Of course we still had plenty going on and I needed to go to the store for milk or we would starve the next morning, so off Patch and I went. When I got home, Tyler had made the sweetest sign for me and had all the kids sign it. It took up the whole driveway and said, "We (heart) MOM".
I have the greatest kids! *remind me of that later, we're still off track*

How sweet. I love it when they actually let you know how much they love and appreciate the efforts you make.
Sounds like way fun!
Great Moms make Great Kids ~ remember that one!
And when they are "not so great" tell them they get it from their Daddy! LOL
That's what I tell mine! =)
When I saw that I thought, that'll make her day!
Fun day! What a nice note from your kids. You have a picture (and proof) that it's all worth it.
