Aug. 4, 2006 • Weekly Chores

Posted in Around the House


This post will cover most of our weekly chores.  The day for this is currently Thursday, but that might change.  The chore lists are still works in progress.  I will be editing the chore posts and bumping them to the top as we progress.  For now, you can see my Scheduling Chores post for an explanation of how I implement our chore schedule.  I will give an updated explanation of this once I get all of the actual chores up.  Also look for my evaluations on our progress.

Andrea,

You so have this down girlfriend!! I am going to show this schedule to my girls, who for some reason think they were born into royalty and see how it flies (probably right over their heads!!)
