Can this really be?

Two posts in one month? Yay for me. ;O)

The last time I wrote, I mentioned that the boys were taking swimming lessons. Well, a few lessons in, they had a request. If they passed and moved onto the next level could they each get a "prize". Uh...sure, I suppose. So, come report card day we found ourselves going to Krispy Kreme donuts (Jack) and EBGames for a Pokemon game for Scott's Nintendo DSLite.

Not too bad, however I signed them up for another two weeks (which ended on Friday) and they had requests again! And although I was sure Jack was going to pass, I hadn't much faith Scott would because this was Scott's first time in Level 6 and he has not usually (if ever!) passed on the first go. As well, starting in Level 6, they swim for 45min, not the usual 30.

So, on the last morning, I was trying to prepare Scott in case he didn't pass. I told him that maybe he should think less about his passing reward and more about a reward he'd like for trying so hard. He was like "ummmm...nope...I don't want anything else." So I was thinking oh great...we're going to be fighting about this one later, lol. Well, that'll teach me...we got their report cards and Jack passed into Level 2 and Scott PASSED into Level 7!! I almost fainted! I am so proud of them both!

So, off we went later that day to get Transformers-Autobots and Transformers-Decepticons for their DSLites.

And here we go again. They trying to negotiate another deal as they're taking a two week break and then they're back for their last set of the summer. Not sure I want to make any more deals after spending $300 on lessons (total for both )and around $100 for prizes. LOL!
