Wordless Wedcnesday: Basketball and K-Cups

Buddy had a great game last week! He made a basket and a free throw. That’s big in his book! It was his team’s first win and he was so happy to have contributed to the points.

I’ve bribed him the last couple of years. For every shot he makes, he gets a candy bar and for every two fouls he gets a candy bar! I got this idea from Smooch’s friend’s mom who would bribe her daughter with those massive pickles you get at basketball games. Candy speaks more to my kids! =)

two points 

AND…how much does my mom love me? We just got our Christmas presents this week and here’s what I got… 80 k-cups!!

    That's a great way to get him motivated but I won't bribe with food lol

    However feel free to bribe me with coffee anyday! Nice K cup collection!

    Congrats to Buddy!! I don't own a Keurig but own a Tassimo and received a bunch of coffee for it for Christmas. Was very pleased!

    Love that you bribe him to make fouls! I say, whatever works. I'm guessing that he's not earning a ton of candy bars every game. *wink
    Have a great Wednesday!

    BTW... I did like shooting the gun! There is a long story behind it and I think I will write a post about it!!

    Well Mimi, in light of our Gender WAR at #DadChat tomorrow, I might as well admit what I was thinking when I saw the title of this blog...

    K-Cup? OMG!

    Stopping by from FF&P!

    My mom always bribed me with chocolate-and I'm not ashamed to admit that it worked-every. single. time.

    While I can still be bribed with chocolate, I can also be bribed with coffee! That is one GREAT present from your mommy :)
