Kids who actually LIKE doing chores!

I can't complain about my kids when it comes to doing chores.  I have two boys- 7 and 4 (almost 5).  They LOVE to do help do housework (except picking up their toys).  But today, they were very wiling to help gather trash from the other rooms in the house so we could prep it for trash day tomorrow.  They split the bathrooms (we have 4!), and my youngest took care of the Recycling.  He also swept the kitchen rug with our little Swivel Sweeper, while I swept the hardwoods.  He also emptied my dishwasher while I switched laundry loads.  My oldest helped me mop the bathroom floors.  It gave him a back ache...so he got to appreciate a little what I do!  I need to be sure to keep this chore-thing up while they are young and wiling!  One day, they'll get smart and realize it's WORK and then I won't stand a chance.
