Pilates and an Instruction Game

The kids have been earning motivators to reward good behavior lately. They chose the consequences in the envelope. When they do well, they go pick 2 and choose between the 2 which they would like. Recently Amy earned a motivator and picked "Go to Grandma Anne's" (my aunt). When Noel later earned a motivator, I gave her the option to just pick that one as it would be easier to have her do the same one. So today we went there for school. Noel requested stretching, and Amy requested Pilates on Grandma Anne's Pilates machines. So we combined the too and had a great time. Cousins were there playing which makes it more fun. The kids got into a powder that smells like chalk and got it all over everywhere. So much fun.

At home we did mom class. I needed to practice using a video camera for a meeting that will be at our house tomorrow night. I wanted the girls to practice obeying instructions immediately, not really their strongest suit. So we made a game of seeing how many fun, silly instructions they could obey in certain increments of time that we wanted to practice using the camera. Kill 3 birds with 1 stone and have some fun at the same time. Sweet.
