Let's make a deal

This is a common proposition in our house these days. Here is how is goes. Usually around bedtime either Bob or I will say, "I'll make a deal with you". Tonight, Bob said he'd make a deal with me, and proposed that I give the kids a bath and put them both to bed while he cleans the house. Tempting...awfully tempting. So, I replied with a "counter offer". I said, I will give the kids a bath, put jammies on, and put the kids to bed all by myself if he cleaned the house, put all the things in Tayva's suitcase away, and folded the load of clothes in the dryer. He thought about it......and thought some more.......it's a DEAL!!!

So, the kids are in bed, the house is clean, Tayva's suitcase is put away, and the laundry is folded--NICE, really nice!

(p.s. we just got back from a week-long family vacation--we had a blast!! Thus the fact that Tayva's suitcase needed to be unpacked)
