Yes I put 2 playtimes on the list so once they reach a certain point they can play for a while.Nanette ~ A Mom Bloghttp://www.amomblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891524585628814360.post-51787308545830524612012-07-02T13:20:49.227-05:002012-07-02T13:20:49.227-05:00Make it a game for your kids to help clean at the ...Make it a game for your kids to help clean at the end of day everyday or set up reward's for them like allowance when they do their chores.

Getting out and knowing what we're doing day to day really helps them.Rose Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06953656606969030933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891524585628814360.post-25588807910406461342012-07-02T10:37:01.130-05:002012-07-02T10:37:01.130-05:00I know right....I get up early and clean and stay ...I know right....I get up early and clean and stay up late and clean but of course the moment someone stops by it looks like I have been sleeping all day...lol.The Semi-single Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993425926884622358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891524585628814360.post-43210613710101927872012-07-02T10:04:49.276-05:002012-07-02T10:04:49.276-05:00Honey, I am in the same boat!

Trying to pickup everyday during summer when the kids are home, is basically equivalent to eating Oreo cookies while brushing your teeth- it just doesn't work.Ashley B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09328203465720581492noreply@blogger.com
