Clarification

Kayli and I were chatting on the phone today (imagine that!) and she said that five chores by 9:45 was pretty ambitious. Maybe I should have mentioned that by CHORE I meant things like brush your teeth, make your bed, get dressed. My kids only do one chore per morning that doesn't involve personal hygiene. Just in case you were thinking I was a crazy tyrant or an incredibly gifted mother or something else completely.

Lynn said...: LOL! I hadn't even thought of that. Yup! 5 "chores" would have been a lot in 15 minutes. Too funny. Love the chore chart idea though. And I especially loved the idea of inserting cards, so you can reuse the pockets and such over and over.; August 28, 2008 at 7:11 PM

"The story is told that in ancient Rome a group of women were, with vanity, showing their jewels one to another. Among them was Cornelia, the mother of two boys. One of the women said to her, 'And where are your jewels?' To which Cornelia responded, pointing to her sons, 'These are my jewels.' They grew to be two of the most persuasive and effective reformers in Roman history. It is so obvious that the great good and the terrible evil in the world today are the sweet and the bitter fruits of the rearing of yesterday's children. As we train a new generation, so will the world be in a few years. If you are worried about the future, then look to the upbringing of your children." Gordan B. Hinckley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
