I'm pretty stoked about this Scavenger Hunt list. I should get a little bit of piece and quiet in the house while they search for these things.

8th Birthday Present
For as long as I can remember Shelby has been making a bow and arrow out of sticks and duct tape. We thought it was time for her to get a real one.
English Shepherd Nap Time
Apparently, this is very common for English Shepherds. They prefer to sleep on their backs and lie on their tummies.

iPod and DS Gaming Rules for the Wallace Children
I'm kind of sick of doing all the work, or having bad attitudes when I ask for help. So I'm going to make the kids earn their free time. This list must be completed each time, and verified for authenticity of actions, prior to even asking to play iPod or DS.
"The" rules:
#1. It must be after 3 pm. Don't even ask if it is before 3 pm.
#2. You must have done your daily devotions and had private prayer time, and your personal time with God must have lasted at least 15 minutes. Set a timer, so you're sure it lasted that long. Don't guess at the time.
#3. Your bedroom must be clean perfectly (including your drawers), and mommy needs to check it.
#4. Your bed needs to be neatly made.
#5. All clean clothes from today's laundry must be neatly put away.
#6. You must have worked at least 4 hours with mommy doing whatever she tells you to do. For every hour that you work with a good attitude, without complaint, you may earn 30 minutes of iPod or DS time. The maximum amount of time you can earn is 2 hours.
#7. You must walk through the Living Room, Dining Room, Bathroom, Kitchen, Laundry Room, and Hall and pick up and properly put away all of your personal belongings.
#8. You must walk through the Living Room, Dining Room, Bathroom, Kitchen, Laundry Room, and Hall and straighten, clean, put away, or pick up at least 3 items that belong to someone else.
#9. All the shoes on the porch must be in a straight line.
#10. You must tell your sister 3 things you love about her, and these must be new things each day.
P.S. When mommy goes to bed each night she will check to see if you left out any of your electronic equipment (including iPod, DS, games, transfer cords, charging cords, etc), and she will confiscate anything that was left out. You will lose your electronic privileges the next day. You must buy your equipment out of the confiscation bin by doing one extra chore of mommy's choosing for each item you'd like to buy back.
Another P.S. If you'd like to earn 15 extra minutes of iPod or DS time you may present a written list of 10 things for which you are thankful, for which you have never before been thankful. It must be written, and it must be neat. It must have your name and the date on the top right corner. Mommy must approve the list before the extra 15 minutes are used.
