Starting tomorrow each boy will get a magic mitzvah bean for every mitzvah that they do. Or that they see their brother doing. A mitzvah in this case would translate to doing something good or helpful. For example, Avi cleared his breakfast bowl from the table. Then he would get a bean in his jar. However it goes even further, I've been getting tired of hearing the tattles of he did this to me...he did that to me... So if someone catches someone else doing a mitzvah, like Ben noticed Yakov picking up Yehuda's pacifier and putting it back in the baby's mouth. So in this case Ben & Yakov get beans.
What is so magical about these beans you may ask. Well first of all they will bring alot more positive energy into the home and thats enough on its own but... these beans turn into Shabbat treats (TRIX cereal, rainbow balls as they call them) every friday. It will give us another activity to do on Friday, counting beans!
I've been talking about this new idea for a few days now and tomorrow we are going to the store together to buy them. (again its something to do!)
There are penalties too I should note. If someone does something bad he loses a bean, and if its to one of his brothers then the brother gets to decide how many beans get removed 1 or 2.
I will keep you updated on how this system plays out.
