Weeding the Garden

Work hard, play hard. Right? Both MilitaryKid

and ScienceKid

did a little project/work for Granddad before we headed back home. They did a nice job in a very short time clearing the weeds from the garden. It wasn’t a huge job and took them barely 30 minutes but MK would rather play all the time. I have not figured out how to alter his attitude and get him to be a willing worker. This has always been an issue with MK, so what is a mom to do other than to have him do the assigned jobs. And then praise the work.

On the way home we stopped off at Myers Farm for milk shakes as their reward for doing a nice job.
