We started our summer 2011 off with a bang! We made chore charts again because they worked so well last year, and kept them motivated to do their chores and other jobs. Each day that they completed their jobs, they got to put a sticker on a chart that ultimately led them to getting a reward. For the first reward (or Family Day as Tanner named them) the kids chose to visit Fat Cats. Bowling, arcade games, and Pizza Factory! A recipe for success.
Yeah Ellie! She was so excited!!!
I think she'd just missed getting a strike.
But turned it around to get a spare!
Yes, she finally got her strike....she was getting mopey that she hadn't got one yet.
Such intense concentration!
Great job on your chores guys! Next "Family Day" reward: drive-in movie!
Looks like a fun time had by all! Love Ellie's excited face. I think Rian would love it! Do they have bumper cars there too?
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I definitely need to start up a chore chart. What a great idea. I'll have to try out Fat Cats sometime too. Looks like a blast. Glad Family Day was a huge success.
