So I had this grand idea. The kids had been wild because I had been on the computer and not really paying attention to what they were doing. Clothes and toys were scattered around the house everywhere. I told the kids that we were going to have a treasure hunt and everyone got their own basket. I hid some treats in various spots and told the kids that they had to pick up everything that belonged to them and put it in the basket and in the process they were to look for the hidden treats. I thought this was a fabulous idea. The kids were scurrying around the house until they found their treats. Then Ethan clued in... "Hey this is isn't a game. You're making us CLEAN!" I thought I was being so clever. I'm not so sure Ethan will like this game if we ever play it again. :-)

What a cute idea Mary! And if you do ever play the game again and Ethan complains...obviously if he doesn't play along and clean up then he doesn't get any candy, right? Just remind him of that!
Ethan is pretty smart. I'm not sure my kids would catch on. Great idea! I might have to use money though. My kids are pretty motivated by a quarter. Dalton wants to get some Bakugan toys. Ever heard of them? I hadn't.
I am gonna have to keep that one inmind...I might actully use it on Brady! See if I can get him to clean up after himself :)
