My latest project has been getting the kids to help around the house more with chores and generally being more helpful and independent. Last weekend, the car was a total mess when we got home after visiting friends, so I told the kids we were going to clean it up as a team, and that whoever did a good job would be rewarded by getting to use the Windex spray and wash the windows. Benji used the mini-vac, Daniel used a broom, and Tamar used the duster. They were all extremely motivated by this prize and each did a great job. Benji worked the hardest and was allowed the extra-special privilege of washing the OUTSIDE windows as well. He really got into it! Unfortunately, I only got a photo of Tamar hard at work with a duster (assisted by Minnie Mouse) because the early use of Windex spray required a high level of supervision to make sure it only went on the windows and not on seats, carpets, or eyes. The car looks much, much, nicer now. --Victoria
