Last day of school. I think we are all ready for a break from routine. Everyone is excited, Dude most of all. Hopefully it ends up as a good summer. I feel like I've given the kids tons of bribes.
1. If they deep clean their rooms while I'm away at girl's camp we will have a special day after I get back. (update to add: this ended up being our Port Orford trip)
2. If they complete their summer workbooks I bought them, they get $50 and for every 3-4 pages they complete they get extra screen time. (update to add: this ended up getting nullified as Matthew altered the arrangement and they earned an X-Box instead)
3. For every page they read from the Book of Mormon with a principle they gained or something they liked, they get 10 minutes of screen time. If they read the whole Book of Mormon by the end of the year, they get a day off of school.
4. If Dude can go a whole week of not walking on his toes he gets $50. (update to add: since Dude didn't faithfully work on his workbook, this got caught up with the X-Box. I've never seen a boy pray so earnestly of his own accord for something before. And amazingly enough, through the grace of God, Dude did it).
