CHORES! NOW!

Make their beds, put away the silverware and plastic dishes, fold socks/ towels and put away laundry, pick up toys, dust, wipe down placemats after meals, sweep the garage, pick weeds. They really like to squirt windex and wipe, tho I usually have to go back over it. They also LOVE to help cook. Once Anderson asked to clean the toilet (I think he wanted to use the toilet brush??). He really went at it with the Clorox wipe, commenting how many germs were on it. I had to laugh as he was probably responsible for most of those germs. After that, he was much more careful with his aim.

Lucy Nagy WB & Miss M (8 & 6) empty all trash cans, empty the dishwasher, can set the table (with a LOT of reminding, lol), pick up their rooms (M still needs a lot of direction), wipe down the glass door (as high as they can reach), and put away their own laundry.

Jen Maxedon I have many chose written on pieces of paper. They get to choose. we change every month. But they include: Collecting hangers from closets and taking to laundry area, clearing the table, setting the table, filling the toilet paper holders, puppy duty (feeding/letting out/letting in/kennel), pushing chairs under table when meals are finished, picking up general items in the living room, making beds, running the vacuum (older kids), wiping the bathroom counter tops, taking down laundry. That is all I can think of right now.

Valarie Elaine Brunjes Maya unloads the dishwasher, takes care of her clean clothes, keeps the bathroom mirror clean, and scoops the litterbox. I don't know how it happened, but she keeps her room spotless and organized without any prodding from me, it must be Carter's influence. I mainly try to get her to always take care of her own stuff, I'm nobody's maid! One time I piled all my shoes and coats on her bed to illustrate how annoying having her stuff all over the living room is, she was not happy :)
