Marketable Skills?

We spent a low-key weekend at home, but in the process learned our children may have some skills to help them earn their keep!

Josh actually fed Molly her breakfast after Chris got the brilliant idea to ask Josh to do it so he and I could finish cooking. Josh actually did a pretty good job.
Then, this afternoon Josh decided to come up with his own solution to the leaf issue. He loaded up the basket on the back of his tricycle with leaves, and then he drove them in a circle around the cul-de-sac. Unfortunately he did not have anywhere to deliver the leaves, so they just ended up back in the yard. However, he did the job with great enthusiasm as he loudly announced to the neighbors multiple times that he was "carrying the leaves."
The other problem with Josh's plan was that he left a trail of leaves around the cul-de-sac, which doesn't do much for the overall leaf problem.
I've decided to sell some of Molly's clothes on Ebay this week, and I thought my listings might look better if I had pictures of Molly wearing the clothes. So we had an impromptu modeling session on Friday, which was pretty disastrous. I did get this picture, which won't be posted on Ebay, where Molly sort of looks like she's posing for a high school superlative year book picture.

If you can get him to dump the leaves in the neighbors yard, problem solved!

LOL!

Wow, Josh is practically a man. You could start hiring him out. And obviously, Molly is ready to star in High School Musical III. Is she taking voice lessons yet?
