All day Family day!!

The kids have been struggling this past week with there behaviour. So we decided today to spend a lot of fun positive time together as a family. Once Macie got home from Pre school we had lunch then got dressed in warm clothes and took the public transit (something the kids have been wanting to do for awhile) to the dollar store. We went and got some buckets and Pom poms. We are using these buckets at home to find ways to fill each other's buckets. If you haven't read the Bucket filling book to your kids yet I highly recommend it. So we have Pom poms now and buckets and when someone does something to fill your bucket...  exp. make your bed, listen to mom and dad, no fighting, helping to clean up. Then you put a Pom Pom in there bucket. We are hoping it will stop the fighting and help with listening. Then after Supper we had FHE and after a lesson on The Plan of Salvation we made some paper plate Christmas trees, then headed to DQ for some ice cream treats. The day wasn't perfect and we still had some moments of struggling but it was definitely the best day we have had in over a week. 

Wade fell asleep on the way home.

Macie loved taking the bus and was so good
