Money

So I posted earlier about my little money hounds. Well, the boys found a new way to make money! They are now doing a paper route. I always say "we" when I want a project done, and Chet is doing it. He always says, "that funny word 'we'" and that applies here. That funny word "they", but they'll get there. We are just delivering 140 papers, once a week. It is the advertiser paper, not a huge commitment. I stuff the papers for the boys during nap time, and then right after school once a week we go deliver them. Yesterday was the first day. Chet and I worked out a great plan for stuffing and it went super fast. Then to the delivery! Oh my it was painful. You just forget that people need taught how to be a good employee. I think it's been lost, so I am very grateful for the oppurtunity to teach them. I am pretty strict on it being done exactly right. They were good about it when I would correct them, and they happily walked around an entire neighborhood, walking papers to the porch of every house. They will earn $.10 a paper, minus their expense of gas (it's gotta suck to have an accountant for a dad, haha) and then tithing. Chet teaches the boys about taxes and all aspects of business. I love it. The boys probably know more about business that most adults do! I told them every 10 houses they get a dollar, and at that point you could almost see dollar signs in their eyes! Now the hard part will be waiting until payday, not until December 15th for yesterdays work. They don't like having to wait for payday!
