I'm wondering how long it will take my children to realize that carrying the empty trash cans up our long driveway is a chore, rather than a fun and exciting activity that happens every Friday afternoon.
Because they are carrying an object that is twice their height and one-and-a-half times their weight, a task that should take 3 minutes, takes about 30 minutes. But I'm not complaining...it's keeping them occupied, while lightening my load!
It's even teaching them to work together! Angel and Isaac were singing as they heaved the can up the slope, "What's gonna work? Teamwork! What's gonna work? Teamwork!"
Once Annie is big enough, we'll add a trashcan for her!

The boys chore is to take out the trash and they love it too.
