Daily Photos

We do many things that I don't actually get photos of (I know that's shocking). Here are just a couple that Wonderful Husband took when he was working from home. He likes to sneak up on us to get candid photos.

This is us doing pay day. The kids are paid in pennies for jobs they do. I know I've mentioned this before, but the way we do this is they don't get paid for doing their own jobs (putting away their clothes, cleaning their rooms, doing their dishes, etc). They do get paid for doing our jobs (folding towels, folding my clothes, dusting, sweeping, etc). Different jobs are worth different amounts - 1 penny per towel and 5 pennies for sweeping for example. Then on pay day they sit down with their banks. I pay out what they are owed and they put it into their banks one penny at a time. The banks have 4 different sections - save, spend, invest, and donate, in that order. So save always gets the most. After they put their money into the correct sections, we go through each section one at a time to see if they can make any exchanges. They are really good at recognizing how much each coin is worth and how to change them for larger amounts.

One of them loves doing paperwork. This is one of the rare moments when they are both choosing to do it for fun. We have way too many coloring and activity books. Even Grandma was surprised!
