Saturday Chores

We got off our routine in December, but Saturdays are cleaning days.  I used to have an Alice, and oh how I miss her.  But, in an attempt to save money a few years ago, I started cleaning myself.  My house is not as clean as I'd like it to be, but 6 people live here and a clean house is probably not too realistic.

Anywho, a few months ago I found these chore cards. 




The middles were then in charge of cleaning their own rooms and they each had another room to clean as well.  They both love check lists (I have no idea where they get that from). They earn points for completing their jobs.  Coco spends his on an app for my phone each week and Lenny has saved hers.

Don't think the other two don't have jobs, too.  Lizzy cleans her room, she just happened to still be asleep when I took these.  Baby A has always loved to clean.

But, during cleaning, his job is to stay out of the way!

Do you make your kids help you clean?

Definitely! The boys were doing a little clean up this morning. They are not fans of putting their toys away but they love taking out the trash and recycling.

Not formally but everyone pitches in whatever needs doing. They make their beds, pick up after themselves, empty dishwasher, dust, swiffer. Loved seeing your precious ones getting it done! XOXO

Sunday is our cleaning day because it is the only day there is no sports activities and we are usually all home! We make the list and put names beside it as to who does what. With 6 people cleaning we can usually get it done really quick!!
