Good deeds

We have had for a while the good deeds chart in our house.  It is basically a behaviour chart.  I originally saw the idea on a blog. http://kimboscrafts.blogspot.com/2010/05/3-more-days.html.  I have to agree with her, when you tell my children they are going to move down a level there is a little pleading fest.  "No Mom please! No Please I will be good".

I knew that Kung Fu Panda 2 was coming out so they have been working towards getting 20 good deeds tokens to go and see the movie.  Well the day arose after much counting that we reached 20.  Although I am not positive that this little girl didn't add one, two, or ten while Momma wasn't looking.

We did one final count and cashed in our tokens.  With excitement in the air and popcorn and drinks in our laps we settled in to enjoy the show.  For this day, I pretended a budget wasn't part of our equation.  Although Ella had a hard time keeping her butt in the seat they enjoyed their highly anticipated reward.   

The good news is that Max asked "what are we going to work towards now Mom?" I am excited that the system is working now Momma just needs to find a cheaper or free reward.
