AMBITION AND CREATIVITY

Both things our country could use right now

My children have decided that they'd like some more of their own money. They know they have to work for it and that nothing comes for free as a handout. Hardwork, ingenuity and ambition is what made our country strong and will also teach my children many lessons. Payton and Brinly don't care for household jobs they can earn money for. Instead they decided to try and do something they love and still make some money. We will see if it pans out for them.



The kids named their business and created their own flyers. They agreed on a price to charge (which turned out to be the most difficult part of the process) Brinly wanted to charge $4 a day and Payton $12. They agreed on $8. They are currently out trying to sell their business. Hopefully someone will have pity on them and give them some work. If not, perhaps they can come up with another idea.

That comment above was from me. I don't know what happened.

This is incredible! What good little Capitalists! Setting a great example to so many misguided people in our country ;)

I wish we had them in our neighborhood. I would hire them for sure! But no. We have to buy Stan his very own round trip plane ticket....

Oh my gosh! They are so awesome! I miss them so much! Did they get any business? Love it, love it, love it! I can't wait until I see them. I'll have them watch Ayla for awhile (maybe while I'm upstairs or outside or something) and give them a few bucks for that.
