Texting....

The kids are quite excited because we just got unlimited texting. Conner and McKenzie had to sign an official contract, which listed several conditions on the texting (such as no texting at mealtimes or during homework, and they have chores that they have to do every day). Yes, they are 11 and 12 and we are just now being consistent in having them do chores! I wish we would have started MUCH younger doing chores, but I guess it's better late than never! We had one trial week to see if they could set the table every day, do the dishes after dinner, and clean their rooms every day. They did great, so we made an agreement to get texting. It's funny how just having them do 2 chores each day has made such a difference in the amount of work that Peter and I feel like we have to do :) So I'm learning how to text on my iPhone - I do have to say it is pretty fun.
