The kids have caught onto the "Summer of Saving" theme, and are doing great at not asking for stuff.
Yesterday, after the funeral, Lizzy's $2 flip flop that she's been wearing everyday for the past three months broke. Lizzy was a blubbering mess.
Me: "Lizzy, it's ok. It's just a shoe."
Lizzy: "Yes, but I didn't want it to break. Because it will cost money to buy a new one. I wanted to wear these forever. We need to save our money so we can get a new deck."
Lizzy: "Yes, but I didn't want it to break. Because it will cost money to buy a new one. I wanted to wear these forever. We need to save our money so we can get a new deck."
FYI, I fixed the flip flop, and saved a grand total of $2 :)
