John Mark signed up for a session of bell ringing for the Salvation Army. The kids really got into it, and enjoyed handing out candy to the patrons of Sam's Club as they entered.
After an hour of bell ringing, the kids used their Reward Cards to go to CA Yogurt Craze! (We give the kids a "reward" when they fill up their jar with beads. They only get beads for helping out around the house--or really anywhere--as long as it is HELPING! We started this reward system last spring, and it definitely got the kids motivated to help mom. We emptied the jars to start over, and the kids each got a personal gift card to CA Craze. Not only has mom got a lot of help from this system, the kids are learning some valuable skills--washing dishes, vacuum out car, folding clothes, putting clean sheets on the bed!!! Mom is LOVING it!!)
