A Week in the Life: Sunday

Sisters in their matching church clothes.
Andrew is obsessed with reading lately. He was sent to put his shoes on. He put them on and then stood, waiting for us to leave.
Christian got sparring gear, and was excited to test it out on Dad.
Strawberries are not going to be around much longer. I made the kids a strawberry shake.
On Sunday, we do our weekly family meeting. We look at the kid's charts, give them allowance, help them sort their money into tithing, savings, mission and spending. We talk about their goals for the upcoming week. Andrew cares a lot about earning money. He is very responsible with it. He is also very generous with his money.
Christian is just starting to care about earning and saving his money.
Jessica just likes to dump her money out of her Minnie bank and put it back in the slot.
Bev has not cared much about earning money. Recently, however, she is motivated to save. The motivation is a High School Musical lamp she saw at Walmart.

Christian actually can do some good kicks when he is motivated by a live target!!

It will be nice once we have a yard and grow our own Raspberries and Strawberries again. That was how this whole shake thing started with the kids.

Wow, your ambitious. I don't think I could document a whole week, but it is fun to look back and see why we always feel so busy, we are! I love the book worm and the karate kid. Cute!

The kids will always be glad they are learning to save and direct their money to the right places.
You and Mike are super parents!!

I always loved dressing my girls to match. You should see the looks they give me when I suggest they match now!
