Doing All The Chores – Chapter 40


Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and I just have to say it gets tiring doing all the chores around here. I don’t think Grampy’s pulling his weight and what’s that thing I heard about —— “allowance?” I gotta look into that.

I’ve been helping mommy with the chores.

I helped her give the plants some water so they’ll grow.

Mommy needed my help with the biscuits the other night.


Every night I help with the dishes.

And every morning and at night we feed the puppies.


Fun with my puppies

I like my puppies. Luke is great for snuggling.

And yesterday I got tired of driving my car but I did help mommy walk Yoda home.

It took me awhile to get used to wearing my helmet but my mommy said if I didn’t wear the helmet, I couldn’t ride my car.

I like to ride my car.


We had a fun night out

My daddy had to work all day and all night on the big boat so mommy and Grampy took me out for dinner at a place they like called “Pungo Pizza.” No high chair for me! We sat in this thing called a booth. Well they sat. I was able to wander all night.

We had my favorite dessert.

Who needs a spoon? I love ice cream. I noticed Grampy cleaned his bowl up pretty good too.

A first!

Guess what I had this week? I had my very first Happy Meal! It was cool! I ate my chicken nuggets and fries while playing with the box and then ……. mommy showed me it came with a toy! Sneaky mommy! Made me eat my meal before I got the toy.

Also this week mommy said this was the best video on the internet.

Just me with more work as I put myself down for a nap.

Doing all the chores

Grampy says it’s nice that I do all this for mom but he’ll be really impressed if I’m still doing it when I’m 15. I don’t get it.

Mommy is all excited for something this weekend. I think she calls it “Halloween.” She says we’re going to go to Uncle Dougie’s house and some other friends. She’s been making me a special outfit so we’ll see. Grampy said he’s calling dibs on the Peanut Butter Cups. I’ll tell you all about it.

Umm, what’s “dibs?”
