You should make an uh no jar like my cousin Letti has. Every time someone says they are bored, they have to pick something from the jar. It is full of little chores to do. Her blog is Happily Ever After off of my blog list. I am not looking forward to that stuff. It'll be okay if my babies stay babies forever as long as I don't age too. Haha.
