Works for me Wednesday!

Ok...I've been reading this new blog that I found as a link on my friend Jane's blog.

It's www.rocksinmydryer.net

Anyway she does this thing where everyone gives helpful tips of things what work well for them and their familes. It's a great concept and I thought I'd give it a shot since I found this great new website for the kiddos.

********Breaking AI News**************

I'm blogging this while watching the American Idol results show and Fantasia just took the stage...

Dear heaven WHAT is this??? Fantasia? Red hair that looks spray painted on. What is she wearing??? They just flashed on Simon who looked absolutely shell shocked...rightfully so. Good Grief...that performance may have scarred me for life...UGH!

******Returning to regularly scheduled blog********

So, as I was saying....I found this great new website for the kids. It's www.handipoints.com

We are always looking for ways to motivate the kids to do their chores. This is a free website that lets you set up a family account and allows the parents to choose the chores, what days of the week, you can customize it anyway you want...super cool. Then the kids get on and check off their chores. They earn points that they redeem with you for different things that you can choose and customize on the website. AND, they earn bonus points that they use to dress up and buy stuff like Webkinz!!! We've only been doing it this week, but so far it's a HUGE hit. So..there you go..my first "Works for Me Wednesday."... and apparently my very first "live blogging" attempt!

********Update*********

David Cook just surprised his elementary music teacher with flowers on his trip back to his hometown. Man. Now I'm gonna have to hope he wins.

Last one because it's over! Syesha went home. It'll be David vs. David next week for the finals. Big shocker.
