This is my updated chore chart. Our old one was getting a little thrashed, so I laminated this one. It seems to be working pretty well. Ammon was miffed that I didn't give him extra chores, but the other kids were happy to "share" their chores with him, so now he has a few which he faithfully does several times a day. My first chart, similar to this, I made about 2-3 years ago, and it has been the most successful of any of my other chore charts.
In other news. Ethan won 1st place in his class for his Science Fair project on acids and bases. It was a fascinating project, and we both learned a lot. He'll be competing at the district competition in the next couple of weeks.
Ashlee's birthday party at the roller skating rink was great fun too. It was probably the easiest party I've ever done and the kids were all having a great time. Alas, I was unable to skate. I've kind of lost my balance in the last couple of months.
Baby is doing well and growing. We're having trouble coming up with names for this little boy. Any suggestions?
