We got this idea awhile back from my cousins Kimball & Marianne to do a bean jar to reward our kids for good behavior. Since we started it they've filled it four times, and when it gets filled, we get to go do something fun like putt-putt golf, or the dollar theater or ITz. I had never heard of Itz until we moved here, so in case you are wondering, "What in the world is ITz?" I'll tell you. ITz is pretty much like Chuckee Cheese except without creepy animals walking around scaring you. And I like the food better. So this time we went to ITz and the kids had a great time and we all left a little over stimulated, but that's what ITz all about, I guess. Hooray for the bean jar!
This little train roller coaster looked pretty fun, and since Sean loves trains, we thought he'd LOVE IT! Well, he didn't say much during the ride, while the rest of us were squealing around the tight curves. And when it was over, I was trying to get him to hold still so we could get this picture, and he kept saying, "Mom, this ride is done. The train is over now," and was really pretty anxious to be getting out of the train. But despite that, he still said on the way home, "Dad, thank you for taking us to the pitts!"

So much fun! We have a little place called "out of this world pizza" but it doesn't have a sweet train ride!!! We may have to start a bean jar too...Jemma spends about half the day on time-out! :)
The bean jar is such a great idea. And the best part about places like that is they have so much fun and play so hard that when they get home they CRASH, or for my kids they are crashed as soon as we start driving home.
