It's a shame that I'm not more diligent about getting gardens in in the first place, eh? It's hard to make our kids do things that we know they should - good work, you!

I'm proud of C for sticking with it (I HATE weeding, and honestly my husband does most of it, but I think we might have to let Amanda learn some of this responsibility too). I'm proud of Katrina the most. I know how hard it is as a mom to follow up and to expect excellence. That's the most effective way to help our children grow up, and you are a great model of this.

I think I'm going to link to it this week - if you don't mind . . .??? I've long been a proponent of "all hands on deck" and now that number five is home with us, I'm so glad I stuck to my guns all those years amidst the grumbling and complaining and whining. It's my firm belief that our routine and structure remaining steady in the weeks that we travelled and the weeks that we settled in is one of the factors that contributed to such a pleasant adjustment. I give my older kids a lot of credit for that. <abbr><em>The Gang's Momma’s most recent post..<a href="http://whitneygang.blogspot.com/2009/06/going-down.html" rel="nofollow">Going Down?</a></abbr></em> This is a great post.

Does this mean I need to wait about 7 more years before Quin will be able to do yard work? So far Quin's biggest tasks are cleaning up his toys, opening doors for us and putting stuff in the trash can. When did C’s tasks become so sophisticated?
