Successful Project Day With the Kids

I just wanted to share a successful project day we had this week. Project days are Mondays at our house and the day to get stuff done that needs doing. This week the kitchen needed doing. While I cleaned the stove and microwave, my 2-year-old grabbed his rag and wiped the stove with me. My 5 year old went through the pencils and pens, sharpened them or threw out what didn't work. My 9 and 11 year olds washed the floor, baseboards and bottom cupboards. We spent about 45 minutes and got the kitchen clean! It was one of those happy days when everyone helps and you get something done that needs doing.
