This Monday-

Today is a Monday.

We have started a new chore task with the children.

They do five quick things in the morning and five more at night.

In the morning they are:

1. Make Bed

2. Brush Teeth

3. Put p.j.s away

4. Take vitamin and fluoride pill

5. Pick a chore from the chore cup

(the bigger chores but with one a day they are fast to do!)

At night they are:

1. Clean up living room and TV room

2. Put dirty clothes in hamper

3. Tidy up room

4. Brush teeth

5. Say Your Prayer

Today they did a great job... as in all things this will work for a while. My goal is all summer so these things just become an automatic thing and then we can move on to the next set. :) And so that Zach wont have a 20 minute melt down over the word chore.

-Trevor's household projects-

Today the men who are working on our basement foundation around the window are here. I have covered, moved and put everything away so hopefully the dust will not be so bad. I will just have an extra load of sheets and blankets. I am thinking they will be done this week and we can finally have a window down there! (instead of a board and piece of carpet) Then we can move forward on that project. I think we have told them about the new carpet 3-4 times now so hopefully they will not ruin the new carpet - it could mean death for someone.

The backyard is starting to get planned, at least the moving of the dirt part. Hopefully!!! we will get to that in two weeks.(Our neighbor will have the equipment for that at his house for a weekend or two and will help/let us use it.) Projects, projects, projects... do they ever end? Because my patients is almost depleted for such things...
