it's Pinterest..
But, it's with good rewards. Check this out!
Greg built this swing that I found on Pinterest.
Granted the one online was from a cedarworks website and it has curved edges just like a snowboard, but ours is versitle.
It can be a snowboard or a surfboard.
We love it!!!
When Brin rides, she starts on her belly and uses her hands on the ground to get herself rockin (like a surfer), then she stands up and she'll bend her knees and get rockin high. She's just such a little athlete... a diva athlete that is!
I even tried it, but I was afraid I was going to break the rope....so I was only on it for a few seconds....

This is what I woke up to this morning. And hot chocolate. The kids decided to make me breakfast in bed. This pasta has been in our fridge for a few weeks and I wasn't about to eat it, but the thought was nice...
I guess, I need to teach Afton how to make breakfast foods and not just reheating things, although she's getting good at that.
Actually, we implemented a new plan last night and the kids were trying to earn stars and warm fuzzies to get a trip to the treasure chest and a family outing. What we decided to do was copy the school. At school when they get so many decision dollars, they get a trip to the treasure chest. It works and they behave. We are having issues at home and so I thought we would try the treasure chest at home. Only here you have to have smiley faces all week to get in the chest and if you get three strikes in a day you lose your smiley. But you have a chance to make up for bad behavior by doing kind acts for each other and earn a star and another trip to the treasure chest. I bought good stuff (cheap, but good) and I showed them a preview of what they can earn. I just hope it works because we have to do something different than we are doing now.

We didn't have school today because of teachers meetings and the kids played really well today. The girls had a little fun with Brin's Christmas makeup...
They were being fairies from Peter Pan. Hook was on tv the other night and Greg recorded it for them. Now it's their new favorite movie to watch and reinact.
