Home Grown Accountable Kids

We are trying a new job schedule for our kids. If they complete their morning, day & night schedule then they get a ticket to earn a reward. Basically we stole the idea from Accountable kids & tailored it for our family.

Magnet Ball

Riley started soccer this year. The kids are all four or five years old. Sometimes it can be painful to watch: a bunch of kids swarming around the ball. He is one of the smallest on his team, but is having fun and Riles scored his first goal at the end of his first game!

2nd Grade

Here is Gavin's first day of school picture. We can't believe that he's in second grade already.

Kid & the Beanstalk

A month or so ago, I walked past the kids bathroom and noticed in the sink that there was a plant growing up from the drain. I questioned the kids and Gavin said he accidentally dropped some bean seeds in the sink and they fell down the drain.  I didn't know that seeds could grow with just water and no soil. It made us laugh pretty hard. (I wish we would've taken a picture though).

PS - A few days later another bean plant started growing through the drain again, so we had to snake the drain.

Braden's First Haircut

 These pix are from my camera phone. This is Brady's first haircut. Sad day (well just for Cory).
