The girls have every-day chores that they do called "family work" that we have decided not to give "allowance" for. These are just daily chores that they are expected to do and we hope will help them learn responsibility and the importance of all working together in our family. But, then they have opportunities to earn allowance by doing extra little jobs around the house that they do not have to do. Yesterday, they both wanted to help me clean the sofa cushions and some other deep cleaning jobs that I was so tickled to have them beside me doing, making a boring job fun. So, they earned their "allowance" and they knew exactly what needed to be done with it! Meet our new family members, "Lily-Pad and Rose". Lily-Pad is the purple and blue fish that Kate bought and Rose is Anna's pink and yellow fish. They were so proud, carrying their little pocket books with their own money and paying for their fish all by themselves.
