Well, we really wanted the girls to start pulling there weight around here, so I made them a chore chart (I've tried this a billion times before), but I've put a new spin on it. You see, during Gabriela's kindergarten assesment, the teacher informed me that she didn't know her coins very well. She would be right. I haven't gone over that with the kids, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I made a chart with 10 small circles (dime sized) and drew a big picture of a dollar at the top. Each time they do a chore or help out they get a dime to tape to one of their circles. 10 dimes = one dollar. Brillant!!! Well the girls earned two dimes each today by helping us with these family tasks.
It started out innocently and then led to this!

All the while, Gabriela sat on top of a dirt pile digging holes. So we had her catch up by shucking corn and putting dishes away. Maybe this time our charts will work (crossing my fingers and holding my breath!)
