Chore Chart in Real Life...

I wanted to take a picture to show my chore chart in use in real life. Well, here it is people. My 2.5 yr old does not do chores yet, but he insisted on being in the picture. He also wanted to be the only person in the picture. He also refused to put on a shirt. That pretty much sums up my life.

My kids have made pretty good progress this summer, and being the competitive little souls they are, they love to count up their number of trains to see who has the longest train. They have earned earned 4 of the bigger prizes as well, so that has been fun. We have gone out to ice cream, gone bowling, etc. It's so hard to motivate kids to do what they need to do, especially without screaming, and this chart has actually helped! I still have to scream occasionally, but not as much. ;) So here's to making all our homes a little bit more peaceful...
