Money Maker

Yesterday Riley made $5 shoveling the neighbor's driveway. It was fairly cleaned up when he called it quits after one hour of hard work, and I gave the driveway a quick touch-up before the shovels were put away.

I figure I'll let him get his practice in throughout the neighborhood, and when he gets really good at shoveling, I can put him to work clearing MY driveway for free. Ah, forced child labor. I knew there was a reason I ended up with three boys.

Way to go Riley!!!! There is no money like money you earn doing hard work. Grampa is proud of you. I hope you had a good shovel to work with and not that broken one that your Mom complained about all last winter. Hope to see you soon.

Don't need Obama bailout, we can't get Riley to bail us out. Cool.

Hmm... I've been having problems accessing my blog since yesterday; shortly after my mom told me she was having problems. I am accessing now on Firefox; either IE or that spam comment was messing stuff up.

Let me know if my blog is locking up on any of you!

That was supposed to be "Riley CAN bail us out"

I knew what you were trying to say, Papa!

Grandpa- the weather report for our area is looking pretty good for Thanksgiving! I need to check Iowa, though.
