Today's chores included cleaning up the toy room and the living room. The girls were less than thrilled when Brandon gave them this information. Then I had an idea. One thing I like to do when I'm cleaning is to set a timer and try to clean an area before the timer goes off. It really is amazing how much you can get done in 15 minutes when you really want to. So, I decided to do this when the girls.... but I knew it had to have more to it then a timer. I have tried that part with them before, and failed. So, today, I told them I'd take a before and an after picture so that they could see the difference. This excited them. So... Here is the before:
And the after: (I gave them more than 15 minutes for the toy room)
Here is the living room's before:
And after:
They got the living room done so fast, I was even able to vacuum it before the buzzer went off! That was exciting for everyone!
Great Job Girls!
