Sunday morning

We love to play games Sunday morning before church. Tyler ended up beating Dave at this game of Stratego! (yes, Kristen & Nathan, we need to get this game back to you. We need to just break down and buy it since they play it every week).

Dave recently started doing monthly interviews with the boys, and Spencer told him he wants to start getting an allowance. One of the reasons he gave is that he wants to have money to pay tithing. So we thought about it and decided to give them a dollar for each year of their age. Spencer gets $8/month and Tyler gets $6/month. We'll start giving Dallin an allowance next year when he turns 5. The first thing we did after we gave them their allowance and separated out the tithing is find a safe place for them to keep their money. It will be interesting to see how they spend it or save it. I remember when I had a paper route as a preteen and would sometimes spend the whole day's earnings at 7-11 on the way home. Hopefully they'll learn about saving at a younger age than I did.
