Summer....So Far!

Well, our first week of Summer vacation didn't go so well.  We had lazy kids, crabby kids, bored kids!  We decided very quickly that something would need to change pronto!!!  We put together a schedule for each day that would ensure everyone knew exactly what was happening next!

After that first week, we heard nothing but good things about the newly implemented schedule!  The kids loved running to the fridge (where it's posted) to see what was next on their 'to-do' list!  Chores got done, house stayed cleaner, there was less arguing, there was time to do the things they wanted....it was a win/win for everyone!!!

Our daily schedule!  Sorry, it's a little crumpled, it's well used!

This has not eliminated all the chaos that Summer can bring but it has certainly helped bring a little more peace and structure to our home!

How is your Summer going??  Any fun trips planned?
