TOKEN ECONOMY

OK, so our kids get points for the work they do each day.
It earns them an immediate reward that night- treat, tv, stay up.
On Saturdays the points are rewarded with money.
Then they are accountable to buy their own clothes and fun.
We are loving it! And the kids are loving it.
Here's an example chart:
Here is a picture of a watch Packer bought with his money.
He also found some $3 clearance pants since 
he wore holes in all his knees.

Reading

Hunter loves to read, but we love it when it puts him to sleep.

Packer is working on his expression as he reads aloud.

Finishing the Basement

We are finishing our basement and Packer is loving wearing his tool belt and stuffs it full of tools.
He measures and builds things mimicking Chris Merkley, our friend who is working for us.
