Allowances

We are trying the allowance thing again (second attempt).  This time, we read up on kid allowances and decided how we were going to do things.  Here's the plan:  the boys each get $3 a week to be divided between there spend/save/give portions in their Giving Banks (see below), if they can't handle dividing the money-they don't get any (this clause was put in for Marcus who told us he didn't want to give money to church because they didn't give anything back-lovely!), they also have the opportunity to earn more money by doing chores, chore money can be divided however they want.  So far, so good.  We are not pushing the chores, but last night Marcus and Cale both asked to do some.  Hopefully this will teach some good money skills and they will learn to give some of their money and not to be greedy.  We shall see...  Here are Ewan and Cale with their new banks.
