A little summer fun

I knew we needed a little structure this summer especially for Jason and Ashley, so I set up a little reward system where they earn points for chores and good behavior. (They can also have points taken away) Each time they reach 100 points they get to earn something. They choose what they earn before they start working on their next set of points. The first thing Ashley wanted to earn was a whole container of cookie dough ice cream ALL TO HERSELF. She did not want to share. So here she is the day she earned it eating right out of the container. To my suprise nobody else thought this was wrong and they all thought she deserved to have it all to herself.

Ashley and Allison enjoying a creamy. I love being home with my kids for the summer.

back-yard golf

James has golf fever and has passed it on to the boys. Here they are practicing their golf swing. It looks choreographed to me.

The cats love this activity. They will sit and wait for a ball to be golfed and then they take after it at top speed. Unfortunatley their mouths are too small to pick the balls up and Roxi usually gets them instead.

Ashley-- I love Rock-n-roll

Ashley--she danced to a song from Monsters Inc. It was supposed to be "being silly" . The costume did not really match but it is cute!!
