Look what we got!

In an attempt to encourage good behavior on our trip the kids earned souvenier money. The started with an equal amount and if they misbehaved we deducted $5.00. I am pretty sure I am going to apply this at home with their allowance because it really worked! Other than a few minor melt downs (what do you expect?) the kids were on their best behavior. The morning we left we took them to Downtown Disney so they could spend their hard earned "good behavior" money. It was fun to watch them try and decided what to buy. Kylee chose to got the the Build-A-Bear workshop and built herself a bunny, with no heart because it was $5.00 extra dollars that she didn't want to give up. In exchange for the heart her bunny plays the Jonas Brothers and is decked out in the least expensive clothing it because she wanted to have enough to buy a Zu Zu pet. When she applied the $5.00 off coupon that she had saved from the bus ride on the first day she came in right under budget! She even had a few dollars left over and decided to reward herself with carmel kettle corn!

Nick was determined to hit the Lego store to buy Legos but was torn by the things he saw in the ESPN store. He did a great job splitting his dollars and ended up with a Star Wars Lego spaceship and had enough leftover to hit the ESPN store for a football. He was one happy camper and has spent the morning assembling his spaceship.

Austin had a hard time deciding what he wanted and the result was a fit about just about everything. He wanted everything in every store that we went in to! I am not quite sure he grasped the whole "good behavior" concept but he walked away with a bat and ball from the ESPN store and a $10 light up sword purchased at the parade the night before. Summer deserved the biggest prize for her great behavior but was content to sit in the stroller and watch the others have fun!
