"Good Job" Stars

As you can probably see in the background of these pictures, it rains a lot here. So, I have to figure out activities that we can do inside ALL THE TIME, which means that things get messy pretty fast. Luckily my boys love to help, love stickers and love to be told "good job!" (Who doesn't like a good pat on the back?) So, I made them a "good job" chart where they put little star stickers every time they do something good: help me with something, make something, are quiet for scriptures . . . (You can see the stars behind them on the fridge in the kitchen.) Anyway, they thought it was pretty cool and B keeps telling me "We need another good job project."

I can't believe how big he's getting. He did a really "good job" vacuuming on his own. He didn't really need my help. I was quite impressed.

S was not about to be outdone by his big brother. He had to take his turn too! He did pretty well, but the vacuum was a bit heavy for him.

And here are my little chefs making banana bread!
