Recently, the boys have decided that they wanted to earn money to buy some new toys, specifically, a new Transformer. Because apparently the roughly 95 Transformers we already have just aren't enough. So I told them if they wanted more, they had to earn the money for them. So they got to work! They were willing to do any chore I asked as long as they knew it was going toward their Transformer fund. They cleaned bathrooms, their room, vacuumed the whole house, helped mop floors, pulled weeds outside, and washed walls.
Even Landon was willing to help. He wasn't about to be left out of what his brothers were doing so he "helped" with some of the chores too.
They have done chores for a few weekends now, and have about half the money they need for their new Transformers, so they are well on their way.
It's so nice to have kids old enough to help out with all the chores around the house!

Getting to this stage in parenting is a nice thing! It is just good to see your kids gain an appreciation for hard work and the value of money.
I'm working on coming up with a list of stuff my kids can do for extra money, but so far they don't seem that interested in it. lol
