This post will cover most of our weekly chores. The day for this is currently Thursday, but that might change. The chore lists are still works in progress. I will be editing the chore posts and bumping them to the top as we progress. For now, you can see my Scheduling Chores post for an explanation of how I implement our chore schedule.
