Katie:
make her bed
help with laundry
pick up toys and books
Grace:
help with laundry
pick up toys and books
help unload the dishwasher
They also have to do things like get dressed, brush their teeth, etc. But I don't consider those chores. That's getting ready. After breakfast every morning, we start in on chores. At first they complain and try to get out of it, but secretly they love it. I can tell. Katie has a lot of pride for her made bed every morning, especially when she makes it by herself.
I love this new system. Not only do I get laundry done every day, but the toy and book mess are kept under control. Also, I don't feel like a slave or have to come up with activities to keep them busy while I clean. Much happier momma. Much happier family.
Gracie's first pig tails. She's not very happy about me taking a picture.

We've started doing chores after breakfast before we start our learning sessions for the day. It seems to work pretty well. I made up chore boards (pans?) like the ones you made. They were so much simpler to make and work better than what I set out to do. I love Gracie's pigtails.
