Open For Business

The boys are obsessed with the Rocket Fishing Rod that is on the commercials on TV. They have been begging for one for a while. I told them they had to earn $10 a piece first and then we would give them the other $10 to buy it.

So, then the next question... "How can we earn $10?" They've been doing chores around the house but decided that was taking too long to save up the money.


They got it in their heads to sell food in front of our house. Connor wanted to sell some watermelon we already had and Aiden wanted to sell their candy they got from a birthday party yesterday.




The neighbor kids saw us out there and wanted to get in on the fun. They decided to sell Kool-aid right next to us. Nick went down to the curb with a sign to try and drive business up our street.





(Connor and Aiden made $1.75 each!)

Your post made me laugh out loud! That is sooo funny! Aiden has the most serious but though look ever and then he has these bright red slippers on!!!! Well, at least that's 3.50 you didn't have to pay them!!! Cute idea! Although, I thought the shooting pole was a good idea too, and we looked at buying one and they were really heavy! If the kids don't have enough upper body strength to hold it while they shoot, it's actually kind-a hard to hold and shoot right. But then again you have tough boys compaired to my sissy girls who won't string their own worms yet! :)
