Chores and Games

Nothing helps my little ones (and big ones) play nicely together faster than doing chores.  I call it chore avoidance.  They know I think that if they are playing so sweetly together I won't have the heart to stop them!  Sometimes when we mop, the little ones "help" by moving the chairs around for me.  This usually ends in a game of train. This train made use of the vacuum hose as an intercom between the engineer and the passengers.  I love imagination games!  It reminds me of being a kid and playing "raft" for hours.  Such a fun time of life!
