Rewards

We do a coin system at our house, and it's working quite well.  The kids earn coins for getting their morning routine finished, helping with the chores, doing school with a good attitude, helping when mom asks, and anything else that I think is coin worthy. They can also loose coins for bad behavior, talking back, hurting someone, etc...  They save up their coins and then they can cash them in.  They can get actual money or they can "buy" things like a new book, a daddy daughter date, or 30 minutes of T.V.  I love that it makes them more responsible for their time.  If they want to watch T.V. I tell them that they can if they want to pay me for it.  Of course they don't have to pay when we watch something together as a family on Fridays or if we watch something for school.  If they want extra though, they have to decide if it's worth using their coins for.

Jesus Walking on the Water

Originally for gospel study I was printing coloring pages for them to color on, but I'm really loving just watching what they come up with.  It's so much more fun, and they get really into their drawings. Nora was upset about the black "narwhal" on her picture, because little sister Emy added that feature, and it was not appreciated.

Baby Time

I've mentioned before that this one is a very messy eater and so she usually gets a spray down in the sink in the morning which she absolutely loves. Then we get her dressed and have some reading time before school.  This morning she wasn't interested in sharing her chair...

Sophie Mouse

My girls LOVE the Sophie Mouse books, and to be honest so do I.  They are cute stories that build good character.  There is no questionable material in them, they are just good books! They are an early reader chapter book, so they have some illustrations, and the stories are fun and easy to follow.  Molly my 7 year old read them all last year. This year I read them aloud to Nora my 5 year old before bed, and she will probably read them on her own sometime next year.  She is still frustrated pretty easily by reading even though she can do it, so we keep things pretty short in that area for now.  If you haven't read the adventures of Sophie Mouse and you have little girls at home (or even little boys!) I highly recommend them!
