Victory!

I have done the impossible.
For those of you who don't live in a household full of boys, let me tell you it is  impossible to have clean toilets.  But I have found a solution.  Now that my slaves boys are old enough to do more than pick up their toys, they are now cleaning the toilets.
The best part:  It's not their job, it's their consequence for bad behavior which means the toilets are getting cleaned much more than once a week.
Marcus was disobedient last night so he earned the job of cleaning a toilet.  Ethan refused to practice the piano and was almost late for school so he got to clean another toilet.  I love a clean toilet but I love even more that I'm not the one cleaning them!
Child labor is a definite parenting perk.

When Ethan isn't cleaning toilets he's playing around in his snow clothes in anticipation of our upcoming Thanksgiving in Whistler.  Randy is so excited he even canceled a patient so we can leave early -- something he has never done before in all his years of school.
