Garden of Weeden

Lately we have taken to paying the kids a penny a weed. One of the joys of having a large yard is that there is more space for weeds. We have had many waves of family weeding parties. I don't know who thinks this is a desert area we live in, we find plenty of lush green weeds! We all go out and weed together. After the first 25 or so kids really lose desire to be out there. Paying them has encouraged greater help. JJ has managed to earn about $1.50 in three weeding adventures.

JJ is using his new found wealth to finance another family adventure - Entanglement (a google puzzle game). They have the usual teasers of letting you play a few levels and then they pitch a paid for game for the low price of $3.95. The free version has been enough to satisfy Jeff and I. However the kids, JJ especially really want to get this paid for version. We told them to save up their money and JJ has already turned in about $1.20 towards the price. He is a hard worker.

As far as our Garden of Weeden goes, well, while we aren't looking forward to the work, we are very thankful for our very large yard even if it means we have weeds to take care of.
