I give my kids coupons for Valentine’s Day. These coupons then expire in one year, on Valentine’s Day of the next year. I can’t remember where I got the template. I did change out all the text on the coupons to fit our family.
I smile as Valentine’s Day approaches and last minute, hoarded tickets are used. A favorite ticket is the “Lazy Day”. The kids can stay home from school and basically have a lazy day doing whatever they want to do. They LOVE it!
Some days the kids will say, “I don’t want to go to school”. I simply ask them if they want to use their Lazy Day coupon. They of course say no and want to save it for the perfect day. Then I don’t have to deal with a fight to go to school.
Both of the boys used their lazy days the first of February before they expired. I spoiled them a bit with their favorite fast food for lunch. Chik-fil-A for Jacob and Sonic for Nathan. They settled in with the X box and had quite a lazy day!
Don’t we ALL need a lazy day once in a while. A day that we can do whatever we want when we want to. I think I might take a Lazy Day! :)
