Just for fun, the hubby and I were at Alberto's over our weekend away to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Check out the vegetarian burrito on the menu. We had a good chuckle! :)

Don't Lose Your Marbles!
The boys have been earning {or losing} marbles, as part of a rewards system we decided to try out. When the boys hit the first line, and half way mark, they earned an ice cream cone from Macey's. JC, who's been leading the game, filled his bottle to the top line first. As a reward, earlier this week JC and his dad went to the movies and saw the Smurfs.
Marble idea came from useyourmarbles.com. The only thing I really did different is if the boys managed to not lose any of their 3 marbles in a day they earned a large shooter marble instead, or when I ran out of those an extra marble.

School Store
Here is the rundown of our incentive program as promised to a few people.
We started off by having JC create our own class money.
We then made copies of the cash. A list of ways to earn money was created. For us this was things like on a quiz $1 for 80%, $2 for 90%, and $4 for 100%. Actual test have a higher payout. He earns money for reading books and being able to retell the stories to me, and for doing his daily school job. He also has bills he is responsible to pay for things like computer use and new pencils, notebooks, etc.
On Fridays once we are done with school stuff, we payout for jobs and he pays his bills, then the the school store opens. It will only be open during this time until the next week. My prices were pretty low to start out with, but as I add new items to the store the prices are slowly increasing.
D. is thrilled to earn a hotwheel car he's had his eye on.
And JC was so happy to finally earn connect 4, launchers. This by the way is an awesome game, much better than the original.
