In order to get our kids excited about helping around the house and keeping their rooms clean, etc. we tried something called "Miracle Music". It was amazing how well it worked. When the music starts you can't help but move and get some stuff done quickly, cuz you want to work to the beat. Each song correlates to a new task and you receive points for completing each task. Once you get 100 points you receive your award you have been working toward. Kolby and Eliza both wanted to go ice skating once they got all of their points. So i got a babysitter for the afternoon and took them in the middle of summer when it was 100 degrees outside to a nice cool ice skating rink. Kolby thought it was awesome and loves ice skating and is actually really good at it. Eliza had fun but took a lot of breaks and wasn't sure about being so cold and uncomfortable in the shoes, but she could actually skate by herself by the end of the session. It was so fun for me to take the two big kids out to do something fun. It made everyone pretty happy. And when the session was over, we were actually excited to go back into the heat and thaw out! (I have some good video too but am just too impatient to wait for it to upload!)
