But what do you mean by cash them in on Mondays? For money? For that weeks tv time and goodies? I was under the impression the kids give you the tokens right when they want something. I read through your comments before I asked just in case you already answered this but I didn't see that you had.. sorry if you have and I missed it. Thanks!

As far as "laying out clothes" goes, I put a shoe rack (the kind that hangs from the clothes rod in the closet)in their closet. It has six compartments, perfect for an outfit each. When I am putting away clothes, I put season/weather/school appropriate clothing in the slots. They get up in the morning and choose an outfit. This saves me from trying to lay out clothes each night.

(get it? stop and smell the roses?:) Before one of us takes our turns with prayers, we take a turn (1-3 minutes) talking with undivided attention from the rest about what we're grateful for, what we might be working on, etc. Rose Report consists of FLOWER - something great that happened in my day, THORN - something not so great, ROOT - service is a root in our foundation. What is One nice thing you did today? BUD - something we're looking forward to tomorrow. WATERING THE ROSES - audience positive responses.<br />Raising a family is a work in progress! <br />Thanks again for more good ideas!Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638998739886615832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-30455833595134828242013-06-19T08:02:05.044-05:002013-06-19T08:02:05.044-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638998739886615832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-23645111841482496732013-05-27T19:34:53.445-05:002013-05-27T19:34:53.445-05:00I want to print your post, put it on my fridge and...I want to print your post, put it on my fridge and just stare at it.

I instituted a new chore chart and "stations" on Sunday, granted it's only been three days, but my daughter and husband are doing so well with their assignments. :) My daughter anxiously awaits for 7:30 so she can yell "Stations!" and runs to clean the bathroom. Hope it continues!Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940607205274824380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-64042029258198477262013-04-23T16:47:09.642-05:002013-04-23T16:47:09.642-05:00Fantastic! Thanks from one LDS mom to another! We ...Fantastic! Thanks from one LDS mom to another! We are doing some of this with our (almost) 5 yr old daughter, but I definitely got a couple of new tips that I will try out. Our house is always a mess, so I like the clean before bedtime tip (though that's when I don't want to do anything but crash and eat ice cream), and I'm definitely going to start laying out the clothes for both my girls (and maybe myself too). I wholeheartedly agree with the assertiveness and kids' chores. One rule my husband came up with when we had our first daughter was that we would never let her come sleep in our bed. I thought it was a little harsh, but I'm so glad we have stuck to that rule. I know so many who struggle every night with kids wanting to sleep with their parents and ruining everyone's sleep. My daughter doesn't beg to be in our bed because she's never done it before and doesn't know the option exists. :)M & Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993857841671231025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-4824521382016928162013-04-08T22:08:41.679-05:002013-04-08T22:08:41.679-05:00Oh my goodness, thank you so much!
