Busy kids are happy kids.

Flexible summertime schedules are great but the laid-back expectations, increased together time, and general ease of life can wreak havoc on my kids' moods and ability to 'enjoy' each other's company. We found a small solution. Todd and Kenna have been looking after vacationing neighbors' pets and homes. It has kept them busy and I've been impressed with their willingness to work together and follow through on their commitments. Great kids :D

What a great business idea! Did they get many customers?

Can I hire them even if I don't leave on vacation?

I can testify that our plants were still alive when we got back from our trip over the 24th. They did a great job. Last year Tom was in charge while I was away with the kids and they all died.

Very clever idea! We did that one year and I ended up watering the lawns for our neighbors some of the time (instead of Brent and Steve).

The kids have had FOUR takers on this offer. 'We' did kill one hanging basket by neglect :( but the gracious customer said it was on the way out as it was.
