Sophia Starts Her First Business


Sophia made me laugh yesterday! She came home from school and announced that she was going to be a wall ball coach. She started right in with making a poster stating that she was only charging $5.00 per week. When I told her she couldn't charge the neighbors she said, " Oh Mom! It's only an eight week class. I think everybody can handle $40.00!". After that she tried to talk me down to just $2.00 per week, then just 5 cents per week. After she had crossed out all her prices on her poster she screamed at me, " Mom! You are making my poster look ugly!!" Finally she decided on free, but informed me that I did not understand that she was just needing some "quick money" and that she was not interested in doing odd jobs around the house to get it. I think she might just be some famous business woman some day!!

Joe said he once was dreaming of becoming tether ball coach and his mom crushed his dream, too. But look how he turned out to be?? The best salesperson, well, at least better than his brother Matt...!!

That's so funny! Andrew asked me just today if I could get together all the things I don't use around the house so that he can have a garage sale to make some money. There are lots of legos he is in need of. I love all the pics of your kids!
