Last night Carson came home from a friends house to tell me we needed to go right down to Target and get this great big Star Wars Lego ship he suddenly needs. I told him that I wasn't going to go get it right away, maybe he could get it for his birthday (my standard answer, because I know they will forget about it by then :) He continues to wine, I continue to say no, until he finally puts on his saddest face and says "Mom, you broke my heart and ruined my life!"
Wow! I must work fast. I'm sure my mom didn't ruin my life until at least 10!
So I told him maybe we could talk to his dad about some ways he could earn some money to save up for this ship. So, later Shans talking to him about how he can earn money and tells Carson that he's not going to be able to earn enough money in a couple days, it will probably take at least a couple weeks to earn enough money. Carson looks up at him almost about to cry and says "In a couple weeks, like when I'm an adult!" Shan and I could not stop laughing. It is so funny how long a couple weeks seems to them. Anyway, he got right to doing chores and has already earned $4.
By the way - he asked me to take this picture of him with his jar - that almost earned him another buck!

How funny! What a good way to get him to help too.
Good job. That is one way to get some help. Maybe I will have to start that again, for disneyland.
I remember begging my mom to let me do an extra chore when I was little so I could go pick out a toy at the store! Keep up the hard work Carson! :D
