Like Father, Like Son

This past weekend, Spencer helped mow the lawn, AGAIN! Spencer is on a mission. He has found a Lego Starwars Collection that he wants and it is $79. We told him we would not go out and buy it for him. We are in the middle of teaching them they have allowance. They can save for things and they can work for things. So Spencer's new passion is to work. He helps vacuum the cars, wash the cars, clean the windows, mow the lawn, spray the weeds, blow off the driveway, water the plants...anything he can do extra that might earn him a few dollars. He even will do something and do a little extra and ask, "Hey Dad, this took longer than we thought. This probably means I'll get a little extra right?" Or, "Hey Dad, spraying the weeds is extra right?" "No Spencer, it is part of doing the lawn work." "Oh. Okay." It really is so cute. The problem is he wants to work and him working involves us working with him! Scott is worn out from the whole thing! But we will say how cool to see him willing to work and let me tell you, he walks that whole lawn right beside Scott and doesn't say a word. He is so cute .....Oh the day when he can make his purchase!!!!
