Kids and Spontaneous “Chores”

Filed Under: family, life, unschooling

Iain and Ryan have really gotten into the Disney Channel show “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and on the show, the twin brothers share a room. Last weekend, Iain and Ryan requested that we break down the bunk beds so they could share a room like Zack and Cody do, since they sleep in twin beds. We obliged and I told the boys this would make it easier for whenever they decided to make up their beds. Little did I know that they would do it so soon.

Here’s Ryan’s bed:

You can see that the comforter is slightly askew but I didn’t dare correct it because he was so proud that he’d done it himself.

Here is Iain’s bed:

They have really been enjoying their new room. For Mother’s Day they had given me a small flat tv with a DVD player because I’d been begging for one. Well, once I got it I hardly used it so I decided to donate it to their room. Last night they fell asleep in their beds watching a DVD.

I was just so surprised when I went upstairs and saw that the beds were made. My bed wasn’t even made! LOL Just goes to show again how things can happen when you don’t nag them to death about doing a “chore”. They do it simply because they want to. Beautiful!

    Who says it needs to be straight?
    And who says tv isn’t helpful?

    Well, you’re right of course, it doesn’t need to be straight. That’s my own anal retentiveness shining through!

    I’m just loving the fact that they want to share a room. Their relationship is so much better than mine with my younger sister at that age.

    I would have a tendency to straighten it – though mine isn’t made at all most days!
    But if it’s done (in my mind, also) it needs to be perfect.
    🙁

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
