Organizing the kids (work in progress)


We are having a blast this summer!! The kids have told me numerous times that this summer is way better than last summer. Thank goodness that being a fanatical organizing machine(tamed) has had a positive response!!  I have mentioned previously that we were starting the chart/chore system. It is working awesome!!! I made a poster board and split into six sections, six children, and numbered and color coded. Since Tristian is autistic and is just now getting the hang of doing chores, the kids have also decided that if he gets a big room they will trade with him or if he wants to keep it they will help out. I love my kids so much!! (Now, we don't have a perfect clean house and everyone walking around with smile and no one ever fights, seriously who is really like that anyways?? LOL!!) So on Sundays, the kids get paid and we re-draw for the week. We have also agreed that if someone is not here, one of the other kids can pick it up and earn extra money since they are paid by the day. This was the first week and they are already asking when someone is gonna be gone so they can get extra money! This week are gonna start working on the kids rooms and hopefully start painting the house!! Well, as usual we are getting ready to go swimming! See yall soon!!
