Monday's Challenge - Planet of the Apes

Scenario #1: There has been an outbreak of the gorilla flu (ha, ha).  Because of multiple cases in our neighborhood, we have been quarantined until the end of the week.  Do not leave your houses.

Scenario #2: Your child decided to see how a fork would fit in your outlet.  Needless to say, an electrical fire started in your living room.

Challenge #1: Ok, we know you have to leave for some things, so here is the challenge: No shopping, entertainment, or otherwise having fun outside of your home for the entire week.  You may go to work and school or other PREVIOUSLY made appointments. 
If you have to go shopping, you minus 5 points from your score for EACH item purchased.  You will be living off of your home and food storage this week!

Challenge #2: For FHE tonight, conduct a fire drill with the family.  Put family members in different rooms of your home.  Let them find at least two exits from their location. Then let Mom or Dad be the ‘fire’ in the living room.  If a family member tries to exit through the living room, remind them that you are the fire and they need to use a secondary exit.  Repeat drill with the fire and family members  in a different location.
POINTS:
  • 25 Points at the end of the week for staying quarantined.  Remember minus 5 points for every item you purchase at the store this week.
  • 5 BONUS points each for doing an inventory of home (5 pts.) and food storage (5 pts.).
  • 1 BONUS point for every 5 gallons of water storage on hand (up to 15 points max).
  • 10 Points for completing one fire drill. 
  • 5 BONUS points for completing a second fire drill.
Remember: You may earn points for both challenges.
