Troy decided that we should go to Bahama "Bucks" for our
Family Home Evening economics activity.
Bob and I threw a twist in when none of the kids helped clean up after dinner:
if you don't work, you don't get bucks!
We talked about the importance of a job well done as opposed to not even done!
We did "let them" sweep and mop the floor,
and then we brought them home some Bahama Bucks shaved ice.
Yummy treat.
We felt kind of mean, but also thought this was an excellent opportunity to teach the principle of
work = paycheck!
No free handouts here... (at least, not with all these chores needing to be finished...)
We also saw on the menu that there are 60 snowballs available anytime for $12.99 ........
I think I see a summer snowball fight in the future!

Lessons learned the hard way often last. Let's hope this one does.
They have to learn those lessons...better to do it now!
