Last week I got some of my summer projects in the mail and today was our first day to try them out! The kids all stood around the fridge as we put up the chore chart and explained the reward cards. It actually went a LOT better than I thought it would. I really didn't have to do TO much "cheering" to get them to do their chores. In fact I don't think I "cheered" at all - even Dalin was excited to do his chores with his siblings. They were REALLY excited about it. They loved being able to come and check off their chore and even asked what else they could do. It was the FIRST time I've EVER not really had to clean the house by myself and had free time to do what I wanted!! I Loved it! And of course they all can't wait to draw their reward card to see what they get at the end of the week.
Hopefully tomorrow will be just as great! :o) Here are the projects:

So now, I'm working on another project I brain stormed with my niece Arlynn. It's sort of like a Bingo game for self grooming and cleaning. I'm hoping to finish that in the next couple of days so that the kids can start to be independent on that as well. I'll post when it's complete - I'm excited for the kids to learn! :o)
Enjoy! :o)
