Today was quite a busy one. When I was growing up my parents thought up "The Game". To this day they argue over who thought it up, but it's a good idea none the less.
You put everyone in different rooms, set the timer for ten minutes and clean until the timer goes off. When the timer goes off you rotate rooms and continue until the house is clean. I think what makes it successful, is that everyone is in separate rooms, so they can't argue about who's doing what. Brilliant!
The kids worked hard, so we took them to Neilsen's Frozen Custard for a Concrete. They were awesome!!!

My job chart
My sister Leslie was referred to this awesome site by a friend. I'm so excited. It's easy to set up and easy to involve the kids.
http://www.myjobchart.com/
I showed Duncan and you should have seen him light up. He's coming up with all sorts of rewards to encourage them to complete their jobs.
There is a place they can post comments back and forth on the site and here are a couple comments from the kids about it.

Saturday Stuff
Samantha had her swimming lessons this morning and she did really well. It's her last day of class and she is now moving from level 3 to level 4 in her lessons. She's very excited and Tori was full of praise for her little sister.
Then we spent the majority of the day cleaning what we lovingly term, "The Room of Doom"! It is our Laundry/Utility room. My real motivation is the toy room is right off the room of doom and Jason needs something to do!!!!! He is driving me up the wall. I don't know what to do with this little monkey. He's hit the frustration phase of life and he will throw a tantrum anytime you look at him wrong. He climbs on everything and makes life pretty darn miserable. My thought was if he had a nice place with lots of stuff to keep him busy maybe he'd be a more content baby. So hopefully "The Room of Doom" will now be the Room of something else.....very, very soon!!!!
