We have been struggling with the kids being reverent, listening, and yelling at mom. For two weeks in September we had them earn stickers for specific behaviors. With the stickers they would earn a trip to Boondocks. The kids did very well and now we know what they are capable of doing. We know that it will always be a challenge, but at least for two weeks they were great and they earned the prize.
Our city fire station had an openhouse. The building is very nice and they had a great turnout. The kids really enjoyed themselves. They even got to spray a fire hose outside in the rain.
For another Family Night we decided to drive up Trapper's Loop to try to see the fall leaves. We were late in leaving so we didn't have much light but it was still beautiful and we had fun together.
