So, Logan has had behavioral issues in school due to his ADHD. He is now over half way through First Grade. The school does a great job keeping us informed which we LOVE! But at home, after school is usually when his medicine wears off. So we have been trying to find ways to help keep him motivated to behave. I know this sounds weird but if you do not have a child with severe ADHD, it may not make sense to you. Logan bounces off the walls and could outrun the energizer bunny on steroids.  Back to what I was saying about rewards. I guess these ideas can be used for whatever you want.

With road closures in the spring due to snow, my husband was repulled for the fall turkey hunt! Since it was still within camping season, we decided to make it a family trip. The kids had two weeks after school which was perfect timing.  The two weekends prior to opening day we went up and did some scouting and some camping, trying to get a familiar idea of where to hunt and where the turkeys are. We can’t really do much with our kids because they scare the turkey and any animal away anywhere near us because they’re so loud. when it finally comes down to a few days before opening day, my husband decides that Wednesday afternoon he was going to go up and get us a spot.
