We run a tight ship round here.

The Marines. The Navy Seals. The Army Rangers. The Green Berets. Those are nothing compared to rigors and demands round here.... ;-)

Daddy had the idea to start charts around here with chores. You know a little "earn rewards" system. This was all his doing and such, so I let him be the one to lay down the law on the kiddies.....

Look how enthused they are......"Wha?? We have to do what??"

Pierce is beginning to sink. Daddy is laying down the law."Look, we expect you up at 4:00 a.m. everyday, everything spot and shined"
"And you, well no more toys until you've done all the laundry and rubbed your mom's feet"
"Do you kids understand, NO MORE MAMBY PAMBY STUFF"
Tee hee....of course I kid. Just starting a little sticker chart system. Kids LOVE it right now, give us a few weeks and we'll see how it's going.

We started an allowance at the first of the year. We have a chore chart and if she accomplishes a certain number each week she gets her allowance...you would think that we are slave drivers around here! They'll appreciate it one day!

Isabella loves doing chores that produce money. I love hearing "Hey mom, can I help with some laundry!" SCORE!!!

Funny post! Those charts are VERY official looking! You need to start thinking about a 'follow up' post...that could be really good! :)

Wow! Way to go Paul! Those are some cool charts. ;) Good luck! Before you know it, the kids will be cleaning, cooking and doing all the laundry!
