Every day the kids have a daily Routine...
Dress
Teeth
Bed
Room
Job
Reading
Writing
Math
Piano
Nothing is too taxing..
their job takes maybe 5 minutes, since we do it everyday!
Reading, Writing, and Math, are designed to just keep them fresh...not burned out!
They read 15 min., then they write in their summer journal or a letter to someone, and math is a 1 problem solving situation.

Once a week we all work together and clean the whole house!
I usually try to come up with something fun, so that the day of cleaning becomes one of their favorite days!
I got up early this week and made two sets of rainbow circles!
Then I placed them throughout the house!
Each one had an activity on it!
(The first 9 were just their everyday routine)
They would run through the house looking for RED #1...
We would work together for 5 minutes (as hard as we can).
When the 5 minutes is over, then they can do their activity!
I laughed when we got to "Breakfast", and Chelsea said, "This is my favorite activity!"
Never had Breakfast been "FUN", until it is mixed into a game!
The last three are fun activities!
For example....Rainbow Scavenger Hunt!
They had to go to houses in the neighborhood and find items that matched 1 of each category!
Here is their collection!
They loved it!
I love house cleaning days...and so do the KIDS!
We always finish with a clean house and Happy kids!

Come to my house and make it fun ;)
Where do you get all of your energy to make things so much fun? :) I need to be better at this!
Sherri, you are building memories and skills. Me, it was hard to get up at 7 am and go do a 5K. You see I am one of those that stay up late and sleep in. :)
Cute ideas!
Wonderful idea... I love making fun out of routine things!
Fun!! I love doing stuff like that with my kids ~ it's just like Mary Poppins' advice in Spoonful of Sugar. "In every job that needs to be done there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap that job's a game." Wise words!
I love this! Great idea!!!!!!
Seriously, I am lost as to where you come up with ALL YOUR ENERGY and your crazy, cool ideas!! WOW!!! LOVE it!
