Misc. Monday: Worker Bees

Summer is in full swing over here, and along with tons of fun, the girls are learning what the word "chore" means. They have always had daily responsibilities, like brushing teeth and picking up toys, but were ready to step it up a notch. Lilly had a writing assignment on household management and up keep the day before we created our chore charts (printable here). The next day, we defined our daily expectations, and added one new task per day, such as wipe the kitchen cabinets and dust your bedroom. The chores are different for each girl. Their new chore charts are located on a tiny hallway wall that leads to their bedroom. The plan is to review the day right before going to bed. The girls will earn a dollar each at the end of the week. We also talked about the Biblical practice of tithing, and they have decided to give the first 10% of what they earn back to Jesus. "...God loves a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians 9:7
