Day 220 - zones


I changed our chores charts. After reading Flylady's book and going through her website I've decided that I can make this work for us too. Last time I tried her method I got overwhelmed but I'm just going slower this time and trying not to implement everything the same day.

Today I taught the girls how to really clean their zones. Caroline was over the top with excitement about cleaning the potty with the scrubber. Calista just wanted to mop and help cook so she was really happy with the kitchen zone. They'll switch zones weekly and get through all five zones in our house.

I'm not including Courtney and Claire yet. At this point they're learning to clean up after themselves. They have to make their bed before breakfast, take their plates to the sink and pick up their toys throughout the day.
