I used to give the girls two options for good report cards. A night at the movies of their choice or a night out to eat of their choice. Well those rewards didn't last very long. Jessie had the bright idea last year that they should get to dye their hair in the color of their choice. I have to say it was different. I liked the night out to eat. It was a win win for all of us! But it is their hard work and their reward at the end of the 6 weeks so.....the hair dying choice stayed. And will continue until they run out of hair color ideas.
Jessie went with purple. We did her hair the last weekend of Christmas Break. Her lowest grade was a 93. She has maintained the A Honor Roll for two 6 week periods in a row! So if she wants purple hair for her hard work....then she gets purple hair!!
Jill had a hard time with math the last 6 weeks. Although it was a C, the deal is that they have to bring home As and Bs to get their "reward". So she brought her grade up and we dyed her hair.
Josh helped in the process since she wanted it to look streaky. She went with red.
I appreciate the girls efforts in school more than they will ever realize. Dinners and movies only last one night. Hair dye will fade. But they will always know that hard work will pay off in the end.
