WHAT KID WANTS A CHORE CHART FOR HER BIRTHDAY?

MINE!

My Bekah had a birthday this week and that is what she wanted. So this is what I made her. (sorry the pictures aren’t any better)

I cut out a board and painted it brown.

I printed the chores down the side and the days of the week across the top on a piece of scrapbook paper..

I glued a piece of  tin to the board and added the vinyl letters and notes.

Then I printed out a sheet of the letters of her kids names and cut them out with my Silhouette.

Then I glued them onto round magnets so they can be moved around.

And there you have it. A chore chart for a birthday.

My son went off for his two weeks of guard. I thought you might enjoy a few pics of the lighter side of things.

This one cracked me up because my other son just found out he needs glasses and I was teasing him about wearing big nerdy ones and this picture popped up on Facebook.

Even the food is well protected.

Isn’t he handsome?

There’s something about a man in uniform. Well almost. The footwear is a little casual.

Hmmmm, serious.
