Chore Day at the Smith's

Today was Chore Day. Mom wants the house to be in tip top shape come wedding time. Here's all of our jobs...

Jordan did yard work: Mowing, Power washing, and edging.

Josiah helped Jordan in the yard. Here he is picking up sticks.

Melissa had to dust all the cob webs in the house, and clean all of the light fixtures.

Dad took out these old slabs at the bottom of our deck to put in a little brick platform. It's not quite finished yet.


Mom, among other normal household jobs, organized her closet.

And then me. My job was to organize the pantry. Here are before and after photos...

Melissa helped me finish when she was done with her jobs. We had a lot of fun together singing crazily to our old Avalon CD as we worked!

You all did an amazing job!!!
But that's not anything new..
I sure miss my chores, washing floor's and cleaning the bathroom's.. This goes for Aunt Cathy's as well.. :(
I can clean my floor with 2 swipes, and that's no joke.. One very small bathroom.My whole pad would fit in your family room..
I'am very thankful for a home, to be a wife ,and serve the lord and my husband..
I miss you all Aunt Jane

Hello Aunt Fran,
I'm missing 5 teeth cause my 4 wisdom teeth got pulled, and one of the teeth I knocked out playing tennis last year fell out again! I'm a little bit cranky you could say! : )
