Gummy bears

Today the kids started going "chores" and by chores I mean they are being forced to clean up their own messes. Each child needed to do two hard-ish task like sweeping or wiping counters, two easy tasks like feeding the critters, and make their beds. To reward the kids, we walked to the store and got them gummy bears. Really this was just a ploy and the real reason we went to the store is I wanted a steak. Since the kids can't have steak I had to sneak it into the cart. Do you know how hard it is to sneak a steak into the cart with three vultures circling? Josie asked what the white thing was and she was quickly distracted when asked to hold her precious gummy bears. I almost feel bad for giving the kids the hooves of a cow while I dine on the tender meat. Almost.
