Chores What?

I have been stressing lately about how to most effectively develop a chore-plan for the family....

I think I may have found one that will work - at least until we move in 5 weeks.....

I am going to write, on color coded index cards, the daily chores each child needs to accomplish.  Each child will have their own color, so they will know whether or not their chores have been done.  The daily chores will also have a time written on them....

In the morning, immediately upon waking (7am), the following chores/cards will be taken care of:
make bed
unload dishwasher  (this one is child-specific)
make/eat breakfast
take your vitamin
clear breakfast dishes and wipe the table where you ate - and the chair if necessary
get dressed
brush teeth (and make sure you clean the sink when you are done)
quick clutter check of your designated room (aka 5 minute power clean)
TP check (child specific - duty is to make sure each bathroom has either a mostly full roll on the holder or a back-up roll on the back of the toilet)
start a load of laundry (again, child specific)

Sounds like a lot, but can easily be done in a hour....  (Seems like that should say "an hour".  Any English majors out there can comment :)

8-11:50 morning session of school    (for mom.  11:50 mom makes lunch, kids finish up schoolwork until 12)

(10am - mom, put laundry into dryer, start second load if necessary)
