Every year our kids play soccer and every year the deal is the same---If you score a goal, you get a dollar. Up til' now, we have never paid out a cent. Carter and Lady are both playing this year. Kenzie and Maddy finally reached the conclusion that soccer was not going to be their sport (no tears shed about that decision!). We told Carter that this would be his last soccer season unless he really worked hard (He is usually more interested in throwing grass, dumping his water out, and tackling his friends). His first game he scored one goal--we were shocked! And we gladly paid him his dollar. On Tuesday, Carter scored 4 goals---how on earth did that happen?! If he keeps this up, we're actually going to have to use more than spare change to pay him. When we asked him why he was playing so hard he said "Well, I really want to play soccer again, and mostly, I want the dollars!" Sometimes you just have to go with whatever works!
