Will work for Food

In our house, whenever there are treats around, any leftovers are considered "elf" food. Elf food is eaten by those kind, servicing creatures who do most of the work in the house. (aka Dad and Mom) And the elves usually eat up the extra treats when kids are in bed. Our children have caught on to this, and often wish they could enjoy the elf food too. Sometimes we offer them extra chores to do in order to be "elves" and earn the extra treats. The following pictures were taken as they worked hard to get the remaining chocolate chip cookies the other day.

  2. What a great way to get your kids to help around the house. I am going to have to remember that one when Sean is older. He already loves cookies.
