Duties

 Lately our family mantra is "Duties First". Carter has been working really hard to be a good example of this. His duties are dishes every other day, doing his school work, laundry, keeping up the garden and keeping his room clean. Seems like a lot. That's in addition to helping his little sisters plus whatever devious thing his Mother decides needs to be done. He does a great job. It's funny to hear him chant it to himself when i have to remind of it. "Come on Carter, you know: Duties first! Uggh". Cracks me up. At least he's listening.
