sUmMer ProGrAm paRtY 2o09

After a long and busy summer we calculated each of the boys points to see if they had accomplished enough goals and earned enough points for their Summer Program Party. Both boys had earned their required points. Chase with 100 points and Carson with well over his goal of 150 points. We had homemade pizza (made by Dad-wish I had a picture of him tossing it in the air), played Buckaroo-Junkyard Jalopy-and Hayden's favorite Hungry Hungry Hippos. We gave each boy their certificate and a little toy and finished off the night with hot fudge sundaes with lots of toppings. We are so proud of you guys for reaching your goals. Can't wait until next summer!

A few of the things Carson accomplished:


-Read stories to Hayden
-Bore his testimony
-Read articles out of the Friend
-Vacuumed the Explorer
-Memorized a scripture
-Brushed teeth morning and night for 2 weeks
-Hit a home run
-Played catch with someone everyday for 1 week
-Read 400 pages of approved books
-Watered the flowers and the garden
-Did 3 secret good turns
-Sat reverently in Sacrament meeting


A few of the things Chase accomplished:
-Learned to count to 25
-Brushed teeth morning and night for 2 weeks
-Learned to like a new vegetable (squash and cucumbers)
-Went 1 whole day without going to timeout
-Went to Primary without crying
-Sat reverently in Sacrament meeting

(Some of these things they did more than once along with a few other things to earn their points)

That's a cute idea, Linzi! I love that the reward was something simple and didn't cost a fortune but something they'll probably remember. Way to go Chase for counting to 25. I'm lucky to get Porter to count to ten! I'm just wondering what Hayden had to do. Not really fair she got to enjoy all the goods without doing something to earn it :)
