Family Cleaning Hour

We had family cleaning hour the other day. The kids griped and complained. But, they actually ended up having fun and doing a good job. And, my house is finally clean!
M doing a little bit of vaccuming!

T actually swept and mopped the kitchen,

dining room, and living room all by himself.

And he did a good job!

S cleaned all the mirrors! He then wanted to go

outside and clean the windows!



J dusting. She even moved the stuff to
dust underneath!

We do the family cleaning hour once in awhile too.
It's nice to do it all together and it's so good for the kids.

My mom said growing up that is why she had kids...to help her do the cleaning!! HA HA HA It is actually payment for all that we do for our kids!

Great kids! Anna loves to do her chores, yeah we'll see how long that will last thought. But she's actually pretty good at it. Jordan is awesome, I never move things when I'm dusting!

LOVE it! Ditto Yvonne--you guys got a lot done! Oh, and at least it was family cleaning HOUR instead of family cleaning THREE hours like I remember from growing up. Of course, thinking back on it now, it could be just my perspective. :) It all seems longer when you're a kid!

Way to go!

That's a fun way to do it! Are you children available for hire? Would they be ok with being paid in popsicles? Ok. Just kidding, but I do love the name. I may have to offer a reward for the one who does the most.
