Getting them up!!!! Hope this helps!!

 Get myself ready for school charts!!



Two weeks into the new school year and I am already having trouble motivating them in the mornings.  With four to get out the door, I have to have the little ones do things for themselves.  I came up with this little idea below.  I did a version of this with Maddie and Hunter when they were younger and they liked it.  I followed them around and took pictures of what they were to do each morning, which was fun in itself!!

Next I got all my pictures printed and a piece of foam board.



I cut my foam board in half and cut the pictures out to make more room.  Then I labeled the boards with the tasks.  I took cloth spins and decorate them with the kids names initials.  I did Ally's in orange(her favorite color, and yes I am aware her name Ally Bama and the irony that her favorite color is orange) and I did Dakota's in blue(his favorite color).  The idea is for them to move their clothespin down then board every morning to the different tasks they complete.  If they do them all in a timely manner they get a star for that day and at the end of the week if they have all stars they get 30 minutes each of Mommy has to play whatever I say or maybe a small prize sometimes.  Hope this works,they sure are cute if nothing else!!!
