Tired of constant fighting between our two sweet girls, and tired of hearing ourselves yell at them for yelling at each other, Jeremy and I tried a new discipline system for the past couple of weeks. We had a jar on the table in which they received a styrofoam peanut for any good behavior that was worthy of recognition and a peanut was taken out of the jar for rule-breaking. The girls knew that when they got to 20 peanuts, they would get to do a craft, which is a big deal to them.
We experienced a lot of ups and downs with this system, but overall it helped. Today the girls met their goal so I let them paint some Halloween signs I bought last year (Hobby Lobby. 90% off clearance. It's a good thing.)
Anyway, they had a really good time, and I think they were encouraged enough by meeting their goal to try again.

Painting is just as scary to me as paper mache.
styrofoam peanuts??? i think the peanuts from logan's would be more effective.
