Jewel system day

 The boys have what they call a "jewel system".  Every few months we choose a few things for the kids to work on (bringing home your coat from school each day, getting ready in the morning without problems, cleaning up after themselves without being asked etc).  They get jewels for the tasks and try to fill up a cup.  When the cup is filled they get a reward.  The first time they each got to choose a new toy and this time they got to choose a place they wanted to go.  As the cups were getting closer to being filled, the boys decided they would like to go to Chucky Cheese.  We actually ended up going to the Children's museum also because we were in the area and had a few extra minutes.  It was a fun day!
 Adler loves building at the Children's museum and yesterday was no exception.  I'm not sure what he built, but it consisted of several plastic tops with nails sticking through.
 The fire truck and make believe play is always a hit for these two also.
 Landon has mastered ski ball.  He realized he's pretty good at it and its the best way to get the most tickets to buy the most junk.  As you can see, he took his cup of coins and played until they were gone, tickets piling up to the side of him.
Adler insisted we go to the Chucky Cheese that's further away, but has Scoop.  He rode it once and then realized it didn't give tickets and "used to be much bigger".
