child labor...

We at the Shearer household believe children should work. We're not above putting our 3 year old to hard labor. Just because you can't wipe your own bottom, doesn't mean you get out of work.

The two little girls had the arduous task of sorting the new tile. Maddie would yell "Gray one or white one" and one of the kids would hop up and provide it for her.

Speaking of Maddie, this was her job. Note: she volunteered and actually enjoyed it.


Here is a view of the floor in progress. It's really brightening it up. We went with commercial vinyl tile. It's the same stuff used in school cafeterias.


And just for your horror photo of the day...here it was before.
