I really like your Saturday family cleaning idea. I know other people who have tried it, and we've tried it here on a limited basis. But now that my kids are a little older, they almost always have school activities (like band, play practice, etc.) starting early on Saturday mornings. And during the rare times when they don't, they're so tired from the school week, that it's hard to get them out of bed early enough to do any serious cleaning. Now Sundays are the only day they can sleep in a little, then we have church, and then they inevitably have a ton of homework to catch up on.
