So last weekend the boys wanted to have a sleep-over at our house but Shawn was working that weekend so he told them that if they did something for him then he would do something for them. (he told them its like you give a little and I will give a little) So Shawn told both boys that they had to go out and pick up dog poop in the back yard and if they both did that then he would let them have 2 friends over for a sleep-over the next weekend he was off of work. So Kode was not for picking up poop. He had a total attitude over it. But Bry was all for it. (which this really surprised me) He said he would be out in the back yard first thing in the morning to get it done!!
So Saturday morning came and Bry was up early and on his way outside. Well Kode was not having any of it. So Bry was outside for a few minutes when he realized it was not much fun by himself and he knew Kode was not going to come out and help him he went to 2 of our neighbor's houses and asked them to come over and help him and they did. The one little boy brought his boom box over and they jammed out while they were taking care of the back yard. (well I do have to say that I am not really sure that Bry helped out much. He is a great talker and an awesome director. He is great at telling the buddies what has to be done and then he chills while they are doing all the work. Anyway, I guess as long as the job is getting done right!!)
Well Kode saw that they were having somewhat of a good time and he decided to get over his attitude and he went out to help them.
He decided it would help them all out if he raked it all into a pile then it would get the job done faster!
.
All in all they did a good job and Shawn was happy! So the sleep-over is on!
(I am not a big fan of sleep-overs but this was a deal between Shawn and the boys)
P.S: This all started cause 2 of the neighbor boys knocked on our door last Friday asking both boys if they wanted to stay the night at one of the neighbors house (but he hadn't asked his mom yet) Kode told the boys no he really wanted to have them sleep at his house. (I said no cause Shawn was working and no friends at our house when dad is working. 3:45 a.m. comes early enough and having the boys up most of the night would not help Shawn get any sleep!) Well a few minutes later both of the neighbor boys knocked on our door and said that the mom said no on staying the night at their house! So that is when Shawn made the deal with both of our boys that if they give a little he will give a little! So anyway the sleep over is on and the boys are so excited!!
