To Do Lists

I've been writing out little To Do lists for Hailey and JoLynn after school because I'm tired of being a naggy mom, having to remind them over and over again to do things like homework, practice piano, empty the dishwasher, pooper-scooper duty, etc.  So when they get home from school, I hand them their little "To Do" sticky note and when all the things are crossed off, they have the rest of the day to do what ever they want.  It's been a pretty effective system so far.  I might say a little too effective.  While I was in the middle of making dinner,  JoLynn stuck a little sticky note on the counter in front of me with some To Do's of her own for me. It said:

-Play with JoLynn after dinner
-Eat otter pops
-Go for a walk

Oh, if only!  I wish I could frame it and make it my permanent everyday To Do list.
This is JoLynn being...   JoLynn :) :) :)  Love this girlie!!!!
