Is your tooth fairy forgetful too?

My poor kids have the most forgetful tooth fairy. She will not come for multiple nights in a row. My kids have taken to making maps and signs to attract her attention. I do have to say in her defense that she leaves extra money for every night that she misses. Recently the kids noticed this trend are a very excited about every extra night's tip that they get.

Family Game Night

We often have family game night on Fridays as a reward for good behavior. After dinner the child that has worked the hardest that week gets to pick what game we will be playing. Our family's favorites are Uno, Monopoly, Clue JR, Yatzee, & Sequence for Kids. We are always looking for new games, if you have any suggestions.

The Lego Club

My sons started a Lego Club. Once a month they invited all their friends over to play for a couple of hours. My boys would plan the activities and snacks. They made up the rules. When it was all over they had to deal with the clean-up. I basically did the shopping and supervised. The only down side was that I had to limit the club to 20 kids.

The boys had so much fun that a couples of months later, my girls started the Princess Club. One afternoon a month, they and quite a few of their friends got together to dress up like princess. They served refreshments, played games, and watched princess movies.

I loved being the fun mom while only having to have friends over twice a month. It has worked wonders for my kids social skills.
