Picking Weeds

There are several "chores" that I had to do while growing up that I swore I would never make my own children do. Scrubbing bugs off the front bumper of my parents car, digging weeds out of the cracks of the driveway, painting the lawn furniture annually, dusting tiny knick knacks...

What can three kids do while I am recovering from a c-section and taking care of a newborn...dig weeds out of the driveway! Actually, I threw in a little bribe to sweeten the deal...10 cents per weed! I think it took over an hour for the kiddos to earn close to two dollars!
