Not Afraid of Work

I think one of the problems in our society is that kids don't work!  Now I don't mean they should be going out and getting a job at a young age, I mean just getting their hands dirty.  Helping out around the house!  We are  trying to teach our kids to be workers!  It seems rare in our day that kids work!  The funny thing is, our 4 don't seem to know it's not normal to help out around the house!

 last picking on the green beans

 taking the stakes and fence down around the garden

 Ronnie working on beans while the cowboy mends the fence!

Everybody helping to clean!  I am going to have 70 pints canned of green beans this summer!

And in case you think all they do is work...

They have fun too!!!

 

 climbing trees

 don't mess with this sherriff

 playing ball

and more ball (we have made them use a tennis ball in the yard for several years because they are a little too dangerous!)

So I think a little work is good for them.  

I think they wouldn't complain too much about it either!  :)
