Miniature "Dave & Busters"

Once again I can't take credit for the idea. Except we called it the Dave and Buster's FHE because we didn't have pizza to call it "just like Chucky Cheese." Thanks Kim, once again. It worked wonders!

I dropped Lela off for her driver's range course and then headed to the dollar store. I ended up spending 12.oo on prizes. But, the catch was that I didn't give them all the prizes. I only let them pick 2. Now, I have prizes for later on down the road. I just might start a program for rewarding the kids when they listen and give them a ticket. For instant rewarding, they can each night pick a prize according to how many tickets they have. Haven't got it all figured out just yet, but I will let you know how it goes once I begin.

Anyway, the kids were so excited for our activity night for our Family Home Evening. They saw me getting all the toys out and setting up. All the questioning began, "Mom, what is that for?" I was sooooo tired that I was getting impatient, but it all panned out. I was going to have Lela play as well, but she wanted to be the ticket lady. I gave her a prize for it as well.

First, Daddy did a miniature gold shot into a fruit snacks box to show them how it was done. Maika won that one with 3 strokes getting 10 tickets and the others 5 for trying.

What a pro!!

Next was dropping the pennies into a bowl. Tula'i won that one getting 8 out of ten pennies in the bowl. Maika with 7 and Kalena with 6. They each got one ticket for each penny made.

Cheating version.


Not Cheating...and he STILL won!

Then we shot some hoops. Maika one that one with 2 in a row. They kept trying to just get up there and lay it in. If I would have let them do that, it would have gone on for a very long time.

Last, we had them throw a ball into a bowl that was put at an angle. They had five chances and Kalena took that with no problem. Tula'i kept chucking it and making me laugh so I didn't even get a picture of him performing that one.

Kalena kicking bootie!

But, man, it is truly amazing at what makes kids go. They all had fun and Dad and Mom had fun watching them, mostly try to cheat without knowing they are cheating. Lavea'i had a fun time too chillin' with Dad and making noises.


And here they are getting their tickets and prizes. Oh, happy night! \"/
