A family friend gave my boys each a $10 gift card to Toys R Us for their birthday. I tucked them away in a special spot until the time came for us to use them. THEN. I went to Heather's house (owner of Design With Life). She had chore charts up for her kids, and when they filled their charts, they got something special. Well, I thought it was about time we did something like that! So I decided their "something special" would be getting to use their birthday gift cards. "When you fill your charts, you get to go to Toys R Us and spend your gift cards!!!!" The boys were very enthusiastic about this! However, when I told my softy sister what we were doing, she was disgusted. That's totally cruel and inhumane! You shouldn't have to work for a birthday present! You're such a mean mom! Unfair, cruel, heartless!!!! Give them their gift cards!!!! Sorry Aunt Karly, you just want to be the favorite aunt, I know. :) |
A little arm reached out from their play nook unpstairs.... and scribbled with markers all over the ceiling. The gift cards will be staying in their special spot just a tad longer. |

oh dear, haha, sounds familiar from when we were kids, never hurt us a bit...maybe even taught us the value of things gained from hard work.
ReplyDeletethat last picture looks like the "marker" was more of a "paint" by mom on the computer :-p
