I am still here....
It has been a long time between posts. I haven't found too much to be post worthy these days. Since my last post, it has been pretty calm. No more hospitals, doctors, etc. I have begun babysitting again. So, new routines. I have not decided when our school year will begin again. We are going on vacation in a week and a half. I am so excited about that! The kids are really excited as well. I cant believe it is almost August! Where has the summer gone?
I am trying to figure out the best/easiest way to have regular chores. As they are getting bigger, they are able to do more things to help. I do want to continue to work on this. I see how this affects some in adulthood. I say this because it is present in our home. I notice how much personality plays into wether you are a more messy or neat person. It is interesting. Any ideas welcome. We need something consistent. Otherwise I foresee bickering over which one did what the day before.
Well, I guess that is all.
Happy Wednesday!

I made Jorri a picture list that has five to ten things on it and I made myself a chore list, daily and then things that can be split up different days of the week. MWF clean the bathroom and kitty box...TtHS mop kitchen trash and recycling...unclutter. Daily-dishes make beds, pick up, and vaccum...that sort of thing..Jorri is four and can do some things like feed the cat, make her bed, and help tidy up in various ways...you know making a list can be really motivational!

Hi Brooke! I've gotten into the lazy habit of only checking blogs from google reader (it's just too easy and fast that way!) and for whatever crazy reason when I try to add your subscription, it doesn't "take". It was nice to read and catch up with you here. Sorry to hear you had your own little "fireworks" going on over the 4th. Scary! But praise God all's well now. Love you!
