no saturday chores

When the kids all started filtering thru the front door Thursday after noon, we began to tell them that we were probably going to be leaving and Grandma was coming over to stay the weekend.  Of course we hear... I want to go to the condo.... NOOO don't leave..... WHAT? why are you doing that?..... not fair, I wanna come. You know the typical grunts you get from kids.  A little time passes and I am quickly packing my things.  Cooper comes in with a BIG smile on his face and says, "sweet mom, that means NO SATURDAY CHORES!"  

You are a smart boy, Coop!

  This made his whole weekend - I never realized how much my kids disliked Saturday work.  What they don't realize about Saturday chores is, is that I was more excited about not enforcing the jobs today, then they are doing them!
