Inside and out chores for this weekend
With the schedule the way that it is, getting chores done has been...well, a CHORE! Things are beginning to fall behind and there's much more to be done outside. It's important to keep things in order during this season because of soccer, baseball, choir, art lessons, writing classes and science classes. There has been so much out-of-the-house activity that even regular chores, like making the beds, have been neglected. We need to keep on top of them when there's time so that we can keep an even pace instead of a hectic, hurried, harried one when it's time to head out the door for our favorite activities!
Here are the things that need to be done this weekend:
Inside Chores:
Clean the refrigerator inside, outside on top and underneath.
