I don't know if you guys have this issue with your kids, but when ours get paid their allowance, they want to spend it right away! They complain later that they didn't have enough to get a toy they ACTUALLY wanted, but they will not listen to you when you preach "Save! SAVE!SAVE!!!" They have to put parts of their allowance into different "accounts" but this is their extra money that is left over. It is meant to be blown I suppose, but it is hard to watch them waste their money sometimes. In this case it wasn't really wasting, just not exactly what they wanted. At least in Andrew's case. Oh well. They had fun and were busy and occupied for a long time and that is what matters. Well at least to me! :) HA HA!
Ethan was in Heaven. He loves Lego's and they are spread all over my house to prove it. He has now started creating his own lego creations. It's fun to watch.
Zack isn't quite ready for lego's so he got a monster truck and a tool box.
And just in case you think we give them lots of money, I think this was a trip that we "supplemented" a little in celebration of the fact that WE ARE OUT OF DEBT!!! Woohoo!!!

I haven't figured out how to do the allowance thing yet. Shawn doesn't want them to get an allowance until they're 12, and they aren't motivated by money, yet. They only want money to spend on school lunch..gross!
Out of debt...man that must feel nice. Looking forward to the day.
