Marble Jars

After several failed attempts at a rewards system over the past year, it seems that we have finally found one that works for us.....ALL of us! Basically, when the kids help out around the house, use their manners, remember to do their "chores" without being reminded, are on their very best behavior (the list goes on....), they earn a marble for their jar. Once their jars are filled to the top, they get to pick something out of the treasure box. They LOVE this.....seriously, you'd think it was Christmas morning! The treasure box is usually filled with things I have picked up from the little $1 section at Target, but in these pictures you'll notice some bigger things that we got REALLY good deals on (zhu zhu pets....these were a buy one get 2 free deal back in December and princesses....got these on black Friday for $2!). Since we started this little rewards system about two and a half months ago, Mason and Allie have each earned three trips to the treasure box.....so I would say it's definitely working! Yay!!
