Archer: the necklace and the hallway

Archy came home from school today besides himself with excitement for he had picked a prize from the treasure box. From what I gather you must turn in your homework all week and at the end of it you can pick a prize from the treasure box.  As soon as a family member arrived home Archy jumped up to go show them his necklace.  

Archy wanted to tell all of you the following:
"I want the whole world to know that I got a necklace from treasure box at school. I got a stucker from Mary (bus driver).  I had fun at school. I played at the playground. Swings. I go on little slide and I have fun at playground. I go with bus driver with Mary."
Archy's prized possession-the necklace

Archy has been accused by his brothers of never doing chores. While not entirely true there is a bit of truth to it.  Archy for years has gotten away with doing very few chores if any. At first he was too little and not interested and then was slightly bigger but still not interested. (I know, I know the first few kids would have never gotten away with it!)  I told him once kindergarten started he had to pull his weight around here, luckily, for him he is very light. His daily chore is the hallway. He picks it up and then vacuums it. Archy does his chores very quickly without being asked because he knows that once his homework, chore and snack are done he can play a video game. Video games are a great motivator for him. Thank goodness I have something to motivate him because he can be very stubborn about getting his way. I wonder which parent he takes after?

Dyson-best vacuum ever! Good job Archer!
