Summer plan

So here is the new plan for the summer. Hopefully it will last for most of it...
Each day the kids have the ability to earn 5 pennies by doing 5 chores, but it has to be without me asking. The first 2 are mandatory-
  1. pick up bedroom and make bed
  2. straighten up bathroom- Lissy chlorine tab for pool and pump filter- Xander
After that they can choose any 3 from the jar. 

We all came up with chores that need to be kept up with. When they have earned 50 pennies in the Fun Jar we get to go and do something FUN- ice cream run, roller skating...within reason 
Today was the first day so far SO GOOD! I’ll take it as long as it lasts!
Also, if they complain that they are “bored” or argue with one another they have to do a chore that doesn’t count for the fun jar.
