Brilliant FHE - If I do say so myself

I don't know where this idea came from, but I think every pregnant mom should try this with their families. For family night on Jan. 24th I had each family member stuff a basketball under their shirts. Then I asked them to do jobs around the house. The girls were asked to put the clothes from the washer into the dryer, Cam had to clean the bathroom floor and put Abbi's shoes on, Kaitlyn had to lay in my bed and then when prompted by Cam come "tuck him into bed", Jimmy even had the joy of taking Kate to the bathroom and then putting her in her p.j's while trying not to trip over Abbi. It was priceless. There were lots of moans and asking to remove the balls from their shirts. Jimmy told them they could when I could and they looked a bit scared. All in all I think the point got acrossed and I have received much more willing help lately. When I ask them to do jobs now they ask if they have to do it with the ball and when I say no, they are so happy they do the job without complaining. Bytheway - I think Kaitlyn might need to adopt in the future - she couldn't quite cut it....

I loved that idea and seeing as we are expecting a girl in May I think it would be fitting although I am not sure how our 15 mo twins would cooperate. They are usually the problems.

I loved this and I think I will use it the next time I'm pregnant.
