I LOVE Labor Day.

 

 

Isn’t team work so much better than solo work?

I was easily able to convince my family to help with the window washing on labor day.  I got them started, then retreated to the grocery store. {Labor laws require me to feed them 3 squares}

They worked well as a team.  {Laborer, Laborer, & Quality control.}

They conquered all {22} of the windows/glass doors facing the pool area.

That cuts down my work. Tremendously.

Can’t we have labor day quarterly?

Whoever said living in a glass house was low maintenance?

Oh, no one EVER said that?

Makes sense, unless you spew glass cleaner out of your nose.   Which I think would burn tremendously.

  12. I love this! I'm always telling my kids (when they are doing their chores) "Why do you think Daddy and I HAD you in the first place?!" Of course, they give me smarmy looks, and are old enough to know I'm being a total smart aleck... :)

    PS: Them windows sure do look sparkly clean!

  13. Wow - - that's a BUNCH of work. Praise God for everyone helping. That is a wonderful family you have! I guess you could have said you were their personal trainer for the day - - - - and you had some new exercise to work different muscle groups!

  15. Oh yeah...you're such a meanie to make them wash some glass. (not) : )

    And yes, I totally laughed out loud at the thing about glass cleaner out the nose. It wouldn't be pretty.

  22. Sounds like a great idea to have a quarterly family work day. It builds character, bonds, etc.
    I'll take the "quality control" job!
