It all started earlier this year. Somebody had to do some shoveling.
And... on that very same day... the floor needed to be mopped.
A lot of you know how our bathroom remodel went. (If you don't... please feel free to start reading here or here ... yikes, there are 37 posts labeled "bathroom remodel"!) It went much more smoothly with Zoe doing the work.
Then we got tired of balancing that checkbook... and I wasn't paying those plumbers.
We can't forget the day that Daddy needed his wheels cleaned.
And then, I'm just not good at watering the plants.
Washing windows? Not me. Somebody has to do it though.
The majority of the time I do the laundry. But sometimes... I just get sick of folding it.
The most recent housework Zoe has done... sweeping. Those dust bunnies won't chase themselves out from under the furniture.
So Carrie... you may think you're up for Mother of the Week... but I think I might have Mother of the Year in the bag.

What an adorable pictorial!
How funny. We have what looks like the same washer and dryer and the same laundry basket!
I'm jealous of your tidy laundry room!
Send Zoe south ANYTIME. If only M would be that interested in cleaning. She's a little OCD about the placement of her toys, but that's about it. And Lordy, don't let me TOUCH one of her toys. There is major throwdown when I do that. Hm...maybe I should convince her that the dust pad IS her toy!! This might work!
Oh, those shots are great! It was fun watching Zoe grow over the year. And wow, has she grown! We, too enjoy child labor in our house, but it looks like Zoe is really good at it.
zoe is clearly better trained than my two deadbeat children! they need to take a lesson or two from z!
i love them!
Gorgeous - I'd call those life skills. Well done you.
Cheers
Oh my, what an adorable series of photos!
Isn't free labour the reason we all have children?
I can't wait until my kids are old enough to clean the house!
ROFL! You are too funny, Colleen! There are adorable. Clever post!
P.S. that picrure of contractor Zoe hard at work in the bathroom is one my my all-time favorites from you!
LOL..very cute! Great series of pictures showing Zoe working for her keep.
The chequebook is my fave. Very clever!!! It always annoyed me that right about the time they get capable of really helping you..........they lose interest :-D
