Time for chores!

No pictures today. Just posting a quick note. Well, Jaden desperately needs something to do. He had basketball on Saturday and had a great time. He really just enjoys running back and forth on the court. He can make some baskets thou. Last night he was in a bad mood as usual and threw a ball in his bedroom. It hit his light and now its broken. Maybe it needs a new bulb, but we are going to make him work off the damage he is causing to this house. Everything is breaking. So we have made a chore chart. We tried once before but he didn't grasp the idea that he would earn an allowance if he did his work. But now he is doing it for free, as he should. Now we just have to work on his back talking and constant name calling of fat, stupid, idiot, baby, or I'm going to kill you. He is excited about doing his 5 chores but it wont last. I can't wait for the warm weather to put the trampoline back up and he can go outside and jump all day. That helps him not get so angry. Anyhow. We went out on Valentines and Jackson cried the whole time we were gone. Our babysitter had her Mother come over and help her because she couldn't take it anymore. We may have needed to pay her more for such a hard time, but we didn't. She hung around after we got home for another 40mins. She just doesn't have much going on. So, now it was 9pm.
Jackson is having a hard time sleeping. So, he just slept in our bed from the get go. Because Jaden was in a bad mood from going to bed early last night he spent half the night yelling in his bedroom. I think he stopped around 2am because I don't remember going in there after Craig left for work.
We went to the Draper Temple open house and had a nice time. Lexy was pretty loud. She likes the sound of her shoes clanking on the ground, so she usually stomps. Then in one of the rooms they talked to people, and she ran around in there. I didn't stop her though because then she would scream so I thought it would be better to just let her wonder.
