Well, it’s officially Summer break and I have already heard echo from hallways and backyard swings…

“Mamma, I’m board”!

Really?

This is only week two of their break. OH MAN ! It’s going to be a dozy…

So, as of this morning we have implemented the “Boredom Buster” jar.

Its idea is simple.

Every time I hear the dreaded phrase they can reach in the BB jar and take a gamble on a chore { sweep the front porch, vacuum the living room etc }. I say gamble because there are two fun ~”un”chores too: run in the sprinklers, momma will read you the book of your choice }.

The sister to the BB jar is the “Big O’l Bucket of Blessings” jar {I know it’s not a bucket…just sounds cuter, don’t ya think?}. This jar is used when any of the blessings have been a blessing { ie: sweet to their siblings, made good choices ,etc} they can pick a treat from the jar which has anything from” staying up 15 minutes later at bedtime, having Ice Cream after dinner… or not having to make their bed in the morning.
