NO toys allowed near the dining table while she does homework? Would that work? I honestly don't know because I don't have kids... but I know my sister tells hers that they cannot have phone calls or TV or video games until they finish homework first. And it seems to work for them.

He poops by lifting his tail up out of the way of his butt. We like the donkey poop to use on our garden to make the plants grow or sometimes we spread it on our fields so the hay will grow for our cows that give us milk (There that should get you through the next five minutes on Natalie questions. May the force be with you!)Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-57397694003650766892013-08-30T07:57:35.684-06:002013-08-30T07:57:35.684-06:00Oh gosh this brought back memories!
