Well most important on the list is this:
BEST REPORT CARD EVER!
This little piece of paper has brought great joy to our household. It also cost me $250! We pay B $20 for every A, $10 for every B. We made this deal with him when he was in third grade, and only got graded is 5 or 6 classes. Now it is breaking the bank! But it's worth it because he's worked very hard this year and we are so proud of him.
As a reward for his great work, we let B adopt a pair of homeless chinchillas:
If you don't know what a chinchilla is think mouse face, rabbit body, with a squirrel tail. It's also the softest thing you will ever feel in your life. Soon, we ended up with SIX homeless chinchillas. I have reached my limit. Although they aren't much trouble. They don't smell at all. They don't really shed. They are pretty low maintnance pets. B even spent some of his report card money to buy them a new cage, which I thought was pretty grown up. He takes care of them. Feeds, waters, even cleans the cages! I'm pretty impressed.
