6 long months to go

We are lucky enough to be able to meet some amazing friends and spend a week with them at Disney World, in September.  We were going to hold off telling the kids, but it was too hard to keep a fun secret, so we told them.  6 months is a long time, and Olivia in her amazing 5 year old mind was having a hard time grasping how long we would have to wait, so I made a countdown chain, that is VERY long.  I think it did the trick, because she has stopped asking if we are going tomorrow.

I also made a chore chart, and if they get them done everyday for the week, they earn $2.50 for the trip. If they save everything, they will all have about 60 bucks to spend on souvenirs.  It is a win-win for all of us!
