Puff Ball, Miracle Worker

Just before we got our keys to the home, we reached a milestone worth documenting.

We filled up our puff ball container.

Puff balls are perhaps on the best moves I have ever made as a mother.  See, good deeds warrant a puff ball.  And it's completely vague; which is the real beauty of it.  Some things are puff-ball worthy, and others are just part of life.

Helping Belle get her shoes on?  Puff ball.  Brushing teeth?  Nope, sorry.  Part of life.  Brushing teeth without even being asked?  Definite puff ball!  The only rule is the good deed has to be approved by Mom or Dad.

This has made our home run so much smoother.  Our kids are now racking their brains to think what needs to be done, instead of me hollering at them all day.  

The kids worked their little buns off, and by the middle of October, we had filled up the puff ball container and earned a fun family night out.

Where did they pick?  Chuck-E-Cheese.  The place was having a wear-your-costume-and-get-free-tokens event, so off we went.
