Peace and Harmony.

The boys have been doing the cleaning for some months now. With the money they have earned they have saved up and clubbed together to by a flat screen TV and a playstation.

From a parenting point of view these teenage boys clean and hoover the house, earn money, save up, work and save collaboratively and mutually enjoy the results.

Can't be bad. It's not always harmonious and sometimes we wonder whether it's easier to clean ourselves than to supervise them...but then they wouldn't learn these basics.

It's peaceful now - long may it last.

They also have a groovy loft room to inhabit with crazy lights and Mr. Monkey trying to escape out of the window.
