Have you treated you kids to a wonderful trip or some super fun activities during their spring break? Now are you home faced with a mountain of chores and unpacking feeling overwhelmed? Why not enlist in the services of your children?  Sometimes in the hurry of getting things done we opt to do it all ourselves because it's faster and easier. In truth, it's better to assume your kids are part of the team. When they are younger, they want to help because it's fun, as they get older, that desire goes away, but they are more capable of helping out. Here are some simple chores that most kids (age appropriately) should be able to help out with:

• Vacuuming
• Cleaning baseboards and windowsills
• Weeding and raking
• Dusting
• Sweeping outside and in the garage
• Taking out garbage

What other chores do you have kids help out with?
