Preschool and Birthday

My big big turned 10! It's crazy! Xayla thought it would be funny to have him try on his Kindergarten cap. So funny.

Xayla graduated from Preschool :) So cute. I loved Ms. Baker! One more year of preschool. We are really sad to not be back with Ms. Baker and Ms. Yaya.

Teaching kids about money

 

 

 

So I have been wanting to teach the kids about money for some time now. I could not figure out the best way to do it. I'm sure there is not a perfect way, but I have been reading about it for some time. K.C. sent me a BankRate article that was really good. I bought these bins from OfficeMax and I labeled them into 4 compartments: Save, Spend, College/Retirement, Tithing. The kids have a list of chores to do around the house. They earn an allowance once a week. There is also a list of chores they can do to earn extra money. They get paid at the end of the week. We split the money up so they pay 10% to each area and what is left goes to spend. It's been working great so far. You have to make sure you get small bills and change.
