I am pretty bad at giving the kids chores and making them responsible for stuff around the house. Which really isn't working for me since I end up doing everything all alone and getting all resentful about it. The one chore I have been making Evan and Matt do themselves is packing their own stuff for trips. At first I gave them lists to refer to for packing thoroughness but somewhere along the line, I just gave the boys a whole lot of credit and started saying something vague like "pack for three days and two nights". How's that working for us? Yeah, uh... that's been what I have been asking myself these past couple of days.
You be the judge.
Three things Evan did pack for utopia:
1. the wood carving knife lil sis got him for hanukah
2. his swiss army knife
3. the fisherman's utility blade I found on the side of the street while walking the devil one day last April. I brought it home and gave it to Evan.
Three things Evan did not pack for utopia:
1. pajamas
2. socks
3. underwear
I'm thinking I might have to revert back to the detailed list method here.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. boys are so..well... boyish LOLOLOL.
