Saturday is a special day......

When we're helping
 We're happy...
 And we sing as we go....
 For we love to help Mother...
 For we all love her so.....
Tra la la la la la la......

I sent out an announcement to all family members 19 years and younger to meet on the red couch at 10:00am Saturday morning...  No Exceptions..... MORGAN.  
And then I passed out the chores list and the necessary cleaning supplies and was so happy with the results.

I love, love, love this! Such cute pictures. Teaching children to work is a wonderful gift to give them. Keep on giving!

So that's the key?! I guess I will give this a try next week and see if my results go better than my normal leaving a list and they get it done before they go anywhere. I'm sick of it taking ALL day before everyone has their stuff finished around here!

Oh and btw, your house looks so pretty!

I distribute check lists with literal boxes to check when chore has been completed. kinda like would mom would leave us to do lists on the tile entry way when she was working. I like the meeting idea as well. Nice to see it worked...even if I DON'T believe there was signing involved! :)
