My
kids have spent all summer learning the
value of a dollar....A friend of ours was selling a little
4 wheeler....so our kids have been earning/saving their
money so they could buy the 4-wheeler..
We started a tall glass jar and started making the
deposits....it is interesting though...right next to the 4wheeler jar is a jar that we are saving to go toward a charity to
feed the hungry....it still is
NOT full...but the 4wheeler jar filled in less than three months....not to mention the feed the hungry jar only has pennies, nickles and dimes, while the 4wheeler jar had dollar bills.....and
quarters.......I must admit, though my kids put in lots of hours with Jared at the jobsite and Jacob even donated most of his tooth fairy money (for two or three teeth) to the four wheeler...We did have to avoid all stores during this time...my kids quickly forgot about their goal when they became surrounded by toys...rows and rows of toys.....Now their 4wheeler is
home where it belongs :)

Hey, I didn't know you guys had a 4-wheeler. How long has it been? Maybe I have seen it, but just haven't noticed it.
