I gave the kids lots of play time this morning after we worked hard together on our chores. They learned how to sort and fold socks and helped w/ several other tasks. Jaxon was rather tired from his busy day yesterday. I purchased a KitchenAid mixer and a sewing machine today so it will be fun to teach the kids how to sew and make bread. I found several Magic Tree House books for Kade today at the Goodwill, he is so excited.
