Consequences

We are trying to sell our house and every single day I ask the kids to clean their rooms.  

And every single time we have a showing, I end up spending way too much time getting their rooms to look nice.

So yesterday I said "I'm done."   I decided to come up with consequences when they don't keep their rooms clean.  Today's consequence was to take ALL the garbage cans in the house and scrub them clean.

Only problem - they had a little too much fun.  Maybe next time I'll make them clean the garage floor with toothbrushes.  Or pack up the house.  Something big.
