Tucker helped me wash my car on Saturday. He had his very first list of chores to complete before he was able to get his "allowance" of $1. He had to help me wash my car, help water the veggie garden, clean his room, and wrap his friend Willow's birthday present. He did all of his chores and got his dollar that had to be placed immediately in his piggy bank.
He even helped Daddy paint some wood. That was for free!
Today we went for a family hike with our friends the Hofschnieders. We went to Buckhorn Island and had a great time. We borrowed a backpack carrier to put Carter in, and we headed out on the trails.
This was a beautiful nook that opened up to marsh lands. It was breath taking to see.
There was a wall of these flowers for about 100 yards. They were gorgeous.
Then we threw caution to the wind...yes with our children with us. But Jeff assured me it was perfectly safe and was meant for pedestrians. Yes, I knew that, but sometime in the last five years...I became afraid of heights!
Here we are headed back to the car. We went to Kelly's Country Store for $17 worth of penny candy and chocolate. Then home for some homemade Gluten Free Lasagna Rolls. Recipe to follow. Believe me, you will definitely want this one.

Looks like an awesome hike. We should meet up for a walk on the breakwall on the Niagara river sometime - Tucker would love it!
And I can't believe Tucker is old enough for chores and allowance!
Hey Courtney, thanks for the comment! I just wanted to say I think your gluten free recipes are going to come in very handy because one of my friends just found out he can't eat anything containing wheat. I'm really excited to start trying some out!
