Last week I got an idea from soulemama's blog for creating a chore chart. It sounded like a productive way for us to get daily things done around the house (since we werent relaxing on some faraway beach for spring break.) With a few index cards, bulletin board & crayons they came up with their list. The plan was to keep chores for the week & then Jack decided they should change daily. I dont think he liked cleaning the counter very much. I keep thinking of ones to add..since I wasnt in on creating the originals. They did come up with some pretty good ones...though I cant imagine Maddie making her bed or Jack for that matter. If I can figure out my camera maybe I'll get a better shot & you can see the board. In case you're curious they read: sweep the floor, put clothes in hamper, set the table, clean counter, feed the cats (i'm including bond with the felines since there's no card for him), clean the sink, drier, make your bed, mop, silverware (put away). Also Maddie is exempt from feeding the animals since the cat & dog food makes her gag! Who knew it could be so complicated. We'll see how long we can keep this going.
