to do's

So I gave the kids "to do" lists after dinner last night. I wasn't in the mood to fight with them and have to tell them what to do a million times. Our routine is basically the same every evening, but Nate was out-of-town and I needed to en-"list" some help. {Ha, ha.... I'm a dork!} I had no idea how well it would go over, but Rachel and Kaden thought it was the awesomest thing ever. {I'll be adding this to my bag of tricks for the future!} Kaden's list was the same as Rachel's just without the last "to do". She's had a tooth hanging by a thread for a few days now and it keeps bleeding every time she eats..... I was so sick of it. I offered her a dollar if she would just pull the darn thing out, but she wouldn't. So it got added to her list and since it was on "the list" she HAD to do it! She decided to start at the bottom of her list and work her way up. {That was surprising!} She pulled it out with no problem. Then asked for her dollar! In my mind the offer was void, but I gave it to her anyway.... If she'll be brave, I'll do anything.
