I Did This!

Everyday Cody asks me if he can have a friend over or if he can play over at a friend's and I tell him, "You have to do your work." "What is my work?" he asks.

Hmmmmm... that's a good question. First and foremost he has to clean his room and make his bed everyday. But then my mind seems to go blank when I need to think of another job for him to do. I believe he knows this and takes full advantage of it.

So I made this yesterday. Isn't it loverly?

Conner, of course, will not be assigned any jobs yet, except for cleaning the toilets and scrubbing the floors on his hands and knees. "Start 'em young!" is what I say. Okay, maybe not.

I used Mod-Podge to adhere the scrapbook paper to the distressed board, then I used this machine...that has forever changed my life for the better. I "heart" my Cricut. (sigh) I used my Cricut to cut out the vinyl lettering. Then I forced my husband to help drill the holes and put in the hooks. I would've done it myself, but I like how his muscles twitch when they are in use.

I bought these "job chart" laminated cards from Quilted Bear. They have different categories for summer jobs, homework, scouts, etc.. There were some extra jobs that were not included in the pack, so I made my own. Now all Cody has to do is look at the cards for that certain day then turn them over when he is finished with the job. Simple. And, they are cute too.

Now scroll on down and look at my OCD Calendar post. I was feeling "feisty" and actually did two posts today.
