5 Minute Pick up

Friday February 9, 2007
Part of my son's chores is a 5 minute pick up in the dining room and we discovered a new idea today. He loves music and so he turns on a 4 minute song and cleans for the length of the song. This helps him to stay focused and he really enjoys the music/work. The remaining minute? He'll do a quick sweeping for that time. :)
