Marble Jar!

On the day he filled the jar!


We have a marble jar. Each kid has assigned chores that they have to do because they are part of the family. Anything above and beyond that they get marbles. Unkind behavior, they lose marbles. Anyway, over the past three days, we've had two kids fill their jar. There is a reward list to pick from. Jackson was the first to fill up. His pick was to watch a movie at home and have a 'snack of his choice'. His movie? Voltron on Netflix. Some weird 80's He-Man wannabe movie. His snack of choice? Popcorn with M&M's in it and chocolate on the side. Jackson was really sweet and asked if the boys could have some popcorn with a few chocolates. Then he told them to back off and stop begging when they came after his bowl :)






With his snack of choice.
Earlier today, Shane finished his jar. Shane and Jackson have been neck and neck for awhile. Shane picked a movie at the theater with daddy. The ONLY kid movie and either of our theaters is Nanny McPhee. I hoped he would hold out until Despicable Me came to our cheap theater, but he doesn't want to wait. So, Nanny McPhee it is.

Yeah for the boys! Taylor wants to see the Nanny McPhee but the other 2 aren't interested so she will have to wait until it comes to the $2 theater.
