I have a new addiction

It's Pinterest.  Have you heard of it?  I just signed up recently and it's so fun!  It's a website where you can "pin" pictures of things you want to do, things you want to make, things you want to eat, etc.  Then you can go to your page and it'll quickly link you back to the source.

One thing I pinned was this cute chore chart for toddlers.  I've been wanting Isaiah to start doing some chores but I haven't figured out a good way to track it.  Here's the chart I saw:

I like that it is simple and that it uses pictures of the chores rather than words...as advanced as he is, Zay isn't reading yet :)  The woman who made this one said her kids put stickers on when they do each chore.  I made mine a little easier by putting a dot for each chore so Zay wouldn't have to try to figure out where on the big blank part her should put a sticker.  Then, because I am so cheap, I am going to laminate mine so I can use it over and over (either by marking it with dry erase pens, or by just peeling off the stickers, whichever ends up being less annoying).
I also changed the colors (which meant remaking the whole thing, except I copied her cute chore pics) so they would match my new menu board (which reminds me, I need to do a post about my super cute menu board). Anyway, here's the one I made:
