Cup Circles

Six people make A LOT of dirty dishes.  We run the dishwasher everyday.  So to save on the amount of dishes we have, I started the above system.  We have a mat (a piece of laminated construction paper actually) that I drew circles on with a sharpie marker.  Then each child (and mom) have their own name next to each circle.  Simple concept.  We use the same cup all day.  After breakfast, cups go on the circle.  Milk cups go in the sink.  We don't end our day with a million cups that way.  Think about it, three meals, one or two snacks and six people equals up to 30 cups a day.  Cup circles:  it works for us :)
