Change Is Coming

I instigated a new program at our house.

It's very simple and the idea is to teach my kids that work pays.

In this case, it pays in candy and toys. (I'm hoping they'll eventually get the idea that work also has intrinsic benefits too).

The system goes if they do their 3 or 2 jobs for the day, they get a small package of candy or a small toy at the end of the day.
Simple.
And seemingly effective.
Finn woke me up at 6:45 this morning with an excited, "Mom, I made my bed and cleaned the toilet." I was like, wow, this is great. Let's hope he keeps this up as a teenager.

Finn gets a car and what does Lucy get? A ladybug something? Great idea.
