Ok so I cant seem to homeschool and keep the house clean and train the children in their responsibilities.... the solution? Spend this week training them. This will accomplish keeping the house at least company ready and helping them to learn to keep thier own homes one day (or help thier wives).

Today I took two children at a time and walked them through all thier daily chores. Here are the daily chores:

Playroom/library:

Dust with feather duster - Kelsie

Pick up - Mommy, Adrian, and Tamara

Febreeze - Karly

Bedroom:

Make Bed - All

Pick Up  - All

Dust w/feather duster- Kelsie

Febreeze - Karly

Kitchen:

Dishes - Karly/Tamara

Wipe Counters/Appliances - Kelsie

Sweep - Kelsie

Spot Mop - Karly

Living Room/Dining Room:

Dust w/feather duster - Kelsie

Pickup - Mommy, Tamara, and Adrian

Vaccuum - Karly

Febreeze - Karly

Bathrooms:

Swish Toilet - Kelsie

Wipe sink/counters - Karly

Sweep - Kelsie

Spot Mop - Karly

This week I will work closely with them every day, next week I will be nearby to assist as needed, the week after its up to them to do thier jobs, do it well, and finish on time. I will spend 30m of morning chore time picking up, straightening up, and general puttering with Adrian and Tamara. Then I will spend 30m on preschool with Tamara while the girls finish up thier chores.

Im excited about this schedule. They did well this morning following me and learning. This afternoon we will hit the weekly areas. I need to go and take care of baby so I will blog more about weekly chores later on. TaTa!
