Money grows on the tree of patience

Monday afternoon I took Alyssa to get her own savings account. It’s only been a couple of days, but she’s already been working very hard on her chores to earn her allowance. She wants to save up for a turtle and a cell phone. We are proud of her for setting goals, but also explained to her that we need to agree to it also. So I told her to think about possibly working towards something else that is less smelly and not a cell phone. She is 8 after all.
I told her I wanted to take a picture of her signing her “Fist Official Document” she looked at me crazy and said “What’s an official document?”



Tomorrow Alyssa and I get to go on our field trip to Tillicum Village with her class. We have been looking forward to it since last fall!!! Of course, I will blog an update on how things went on Friday (hopefully)
