Money Makers

Colin and Gillian got really neat piggy banks for their birthdays.  And they got them for a reason!  Mommy and Daddy thought it was time to start some chores and small allowance.  The kids agreed.  In fact Gillian downright NAGGED me until we came up with a chore chart and officially started.

So, to start us off, each kiddo has to make their bed daily, clean up the living room before bed, clear/set the table for dinner, and another extra chore assigned sometime during the week.  And for all that they earn a nice, fat 75 cents a piece.  And they are THRILLED.

The first week's allowance ceremony.

I think this is a great idea, Lea. I think we might try something similar in our house, but obviously we will have to expect more from Ellie than Jack. Thanks for the idea!

So cute! I love the Save, Share, Spend banks! My BIL has been doing that with his kids for years and it has been wildly successful! :)
