I remembered a similar chart my mom had when I was little.
This one I made a page with my three boys pictures in Photoshop. Then I made a circle divided three ways that has a list of their responsbilities. I laminated each part and stuck a brad in the middle.
We will turn it every week so the assignments will change up weekly. It goes on the fridge and will hopefully eliminate fighting over who has to do what.
I'm also using this scrabble tile board as incentive to be good. I wrote the boys names on top and give them 14 letters at the beginning of the week. They lose letters for things like disobeying, fighting, saying "suck", leaving dirty socks out, slamming doors, etc. At the end of the week if they have 10 letters left, they can choose a prize. Mostly they are thrilled to get a soda or a Propel. It doesn't take much to please kids. Last week I had a child lose 5 and begged and begged to able to earn one back by cleaning. I let him, but I'm not sure if they should earn back letters or not. What do you think?
And cut about 3-4 inches off of each end. I did this because I didn't want to the wreath to turn out too big in the end. Hanger wire is quite thick, so I took tin snips and starting knawing away at it. Then I bent it back it forth until it snapped.
Then I shaped them into three fat hearts.
The wire is so thick that I had I hard time wrapping it around itself where the ends met. So I took some trusty masking tape to tape the ends together.
Then I cut up a whole bunch of green fabic into approx. 5-6 inch x 1 inch strips. I used fabric I already had, fleece, tulle, ribbon, old shirts etc.
Then I took my first piece of fabric and went up and down through the hearts where they connected in the middle and tied a knot. 
Then I started tying my strips on my first heart. Go around two hearts at time towards the bottom where they connect. Keep going until it is all covered. At this point, you can trim the strips as desired.
I wasn't sure people would know what it was so I decided to make a stem. I took this toilet paper roll and hot glued green fleece around it. Then I applied hot glue to the top and stuck it to the bottom of the shamrock. 
I love making these polymer clay pendants. The original tute is 
Take your polymer clay and roll it out using a spray can. You can mix colors or leave solid. Then stamp an image onto the clay.
You can get creative on how to cut it out. A steak knife, exacto knife, or look around your house. I took the bottom of a glitter jar and here and it gave sort of a bottle cap effect.
You can also get the hole into your pendant a couple of different ways. Here, I took this end clasp here to make necklaces and punched it through two times to make a hole.
Or you use a paper pierce or something else sharp to wiggle a hole into it.
When you have made all that you want to, bake according to instructions on package. I might do a little longer than suggested so it is not still soft. After they cool down, paint with white paint, then wipe most of it off, leaving only white in your stamped image.
When I saw these 
But, what if you don't have any extra cover ups, and need more than you have? You can make your own diaper cover ups. Here is how:
1) Take an existing pair that fit well and trace onto paper, about 1 - 1/2 inches bigger. Only trace around half, then fold the paper in half so it will be equal. Cut out and pin onto your fabric (I used an old knit shirt). Repeat to make 2.
2) Then I used my rotary cutter to 
My model is not so happy anymore!
If any of this was confusing, here is a
