• Dec. 19, 2006 - Amazing Race??

I am seeing lots of slacking....in chores. Oh they are doing them... just not *quite* completely. Missing the edges kind of thing. Now I could go about this a few ways... crack down on each to fully do their rm assignments is one option (one I use at times). Another is they tag team rm by rm until done. I kinda like that option, but it really can take awhile... So today.... I need a catchy title for this... beat the clock? Hmmm no because that does not fit... Title suggestions WELCOME. What about the Amazing Race? I know that is a show (not one I've ever seen so it might not *fit*, but it sounds good....) Anyway In 45 min increments Becca (17), Aaron (13), and Isaac(11) are to work as hard and as fast as they can together on 1 rm. When the buzzer goes off that is it. They will collect goodies at the end of each buzzer mini candy bar homemade cookies scoop of ice cream game certificate Now note I did not say if the rm was done. I do not think most will be done in 45min, but we'll play again on Th. I try to be very very concrete in my expectations especially to start out... but my older 3 are to a point where I can if I need to say just show me you are working hard. In the past as we were gearing up I would have set specific tasks. Goals today - liv rm., din rm, kitchen, hall (maybe), and possibly boys rm.... What will momma be doing? Taking care of the younger 3 and helping Molly with scarves. I'd rather have Molly working with them... but I am hoping to get the scarves done today and crossed off. But first *regular* chores must be complete. The boys are a bit behind. Usually they are out doing animal chores before momma gets up (I prefer to get up earlier, but Micah prefers to get up during the night). However, today I got up to 4 dc playing cars together on the liv rm floor... Caleb (4), Molly (8), Isaac (11), and Aaron (13). Gentlechildren... start... your... engines!!!!!!!!!
