I've heard some amazing stories about how my father-in-law taught his seven boys to work. Saturday mornings, in particular, were get the work done days. Steve would knock on the boys' doors (teenage to toddler) and they were expected to get ready and work until the jobs were considered done. Even when there was nothing pressing, he would have them just move piles of dirt around...because all kids love to get dirty and see something transformed.
I love that Aaron does this same thing every Saturday morning and throughout the week with our children (although they wake up before us usually). Today after school and piano lessons these boys came home and started digging this hole (partly for their chairs to rest in and also to help get the pool ready). When they put the chairs in they said they will be able to watch the sun go away.
I told Cameron that they should keep going and we could just dig the pool hole ourselves. He said that's not a good idea because it's way too small and that it would be a waste of money and time.
These kids seriously amaze me.
