On most days "Cleaning your room" appears on SOMEONE's chore chart. (never on both...they do better 1 at a time, so they rotate days). Well...i see I have not been 'tough' enough... because this is what I saw today AFTER they were done cleaning....
AND this....
Now granted my "rules" for cleaning your room include: NOTHING ON THE FLOOR!! (not a happy mom when I step on a little civil war guy). Bed made (or atleast a good attempt..both beds are against the wall which makes it a bit difficult). So the above is wht I found... the floors were "clean" the beds were not...which would normally be a discipline issue...but NOT TODAY...today we tackled this room. (Bedrooms are actually NEXT week's zone...but we got a head start)
First:
Strip the beds and get the sheets and things headed to the basement...
Then... we keep all their toys in plastic tubs....however each tub is to hold its own contents...not a mixture of EVERYTHING... so how did we remedy this? We started from scratch!!
And SLOWLY put each item in the CORRECT box:
Then we straightened up the closet....(even the top...where mom was putting some things to deal with later... LATER had arrived!!) No pic here...sorry.
So after sweeping the floor and taking care of the dresser this is how we left it...(sheets still in the washer/dryer):
and
TADA...
Now in the coming days...I'm going to have to inspect MUCH closer!!
