Chore Charts

I'm on a blogging roll right now. Sometimes I got nothin' and other times, I'm just full of it, I guess. Anyway, I found something I just had to share, but beware: this is a MOM blog--all disinterested others may stop reading now.

We're working on being consistent with our chores these days. It's not easy for our artist personalities around here, but we're giving it another go. I searched "Chore Charts" and found a great little blog with some tips by a homeschooling Mom who's humble but got it all together. I also found a fun site to make custom chore charts for kids. You can choose their favorite character, fill in the chores appropriate for their age, and then they can color it!

Luke is paying for our date this year, so his goal is to earn enough for a movie and dinner. (We may have to up the allowance for this one. The Warren theatre is $9 for an evening show....ridiculous!) He is taking this economics class, taught by Aunt Carrie at co-op this Spring.

Grace's goal is to have more money than Luke, which will be hard since she spends hers as soon as she gets it. Her famous line is: "I only have a dollar!" She is also taking a money class at co-op from Aunt Carrie. Yay, Aunt Carrie!

We'll let you know how our chore charts work out....but if we don't, please don't hold it against us. There's always next January.
