I read on a friend's blog the other day that to incentivize her children to help around the house without being grumpy and fussing, she came up with a chart and when they filled the chart they got to go on a date with Dad. I loved it, so I followed suit. I made a job chart for Tanner and Colty and if they do their jobs without complaint they get a checkmark, and after 1 week of checkmarks, they get a date with Dad. Well, after one successful week Dave came home from work and told the boys that if they did one more week we could go to Monster Trucks together as a family. They were sold!! Everyday they asked when we were going, and finally the day arrived.
 |
| Mud drag racing. We were surprised at how hard this is on the trucks. There were many trucks that ended up locking up or loosing headgaskets and such and had to be towed out of the arena. One of the monster trucks even blew his transmission, but no worries, he had another one and within the hour he had them switched out and was racing again! |
 |
| It was VERY loud. We brought earplugs, but litte boy ears are too small for the plugs. Bummer! (pretend you don't see my double chin!) |
 |
| Lucky boys convinced Dad to buy them flags. Then we had the drivers sign them. |
 |
| Titan (the overall winner) and Double Trouble. |
It was such a fun night. A great reward for good boys!
