So we made it through our first 2 weeks of our "jobs," all the way to pay day! And a happy day it was! The kids were so excited to get their money and go spend it (after their 10% to tithing, of course). We tried to explain to them that they'll get more money in another 2 weeks and they can get something bigger and better (like a Wii game or save for a 3DS or something), but it seemed to fall of deaf ears. It was burnin' a hole in their pockets already, and they'd only had it for a few minutes!

So here's our system...
Chloe and Port each have 10 jobs worth 10 cents each (so they can make $1/day.) If they do their job with a happy heart, they can double their money (20 cents) and possibly make $2 for they day and even possibly make $20 for the 2 weeks! Awesome, right? They really did pretty well. Bubb only has 5 jobs 'cause he's little. They didn't quite make the full $20, but they did pretty good :] Chloe bought some Poke'mon cards (it's some kind of "thing" with the kids in school) and had money left over. Port bought Mario Kart for the Wii (he had some left over Christmas money), and we split the cost with him since he wouldn't be the only one to play it :) , and he had some money left over. Bubb got a blue car that makes LOTS of noise and even drives by itself (he had some leftover Christmas money too), and had some money left over. We were big on them having money left over.
Glad to have 'em on the payroll.

Such a cute idea....I love the bonus if they do their stuff happily. Maybe I could convince Aaron to double my allowance if I do my jobs happily!!! I keep telling Palmer "one day this will be your job." Ha Ha I have a while to wait though.
