As a side note on Jaden paying we have started giving him an allowance since he has taken a great interest in money and well also has a small case of the "i wants". So since Jay and I are in the midst of taking a finacial class we thought we would instill some of what we are learning into him. He gets $3 on Sundays and is to put $1 in each of three envelopes. Spend, Give and Save. Such a simple but wonderful concept the basics of managing money. He has even given some money to Annie for helping him out. Actually it was 5 bucks!! I was quite proud. So on occasion when we are out he wants to pay for something we are buying like his egg and cheese sandwich this morning.
For those that are wondering about the financial class I highly reccomend it. You can go here to learn more about it. I will maybe post later about it more indepth another time. Tonight we are having dinner at Jays parents for Jays belated birthday dinner.
What a great idea- spend, give, save. I really need to work on money management w/ my kids (and, well, I could take a little of my own advice as well). Cute, cute pics!!!
