For Hire!

The other night while we were at a local home improvement store, Max found this! His very own, kid size shovel. The perfect tool to help out his daddy.

There was only one problem. He doesn't have $15.

(his empty wallet!)

He spent his very last penny on a Zhu Zhu pet that he wanted so badly.

Last night he came up with a brilliant idea. He would ask people if he could help them do "jobs" to try to earn some money. He said, "Mom, I could pick up sticks, or sweep driveways...I like to sweep!"

Oh, how I love his eagerness!

So, just be on the lookout for a handsome little guy asking for random work. And I will have to admit...he is a pretty good worker! (we'll keep you posted on his progress!)

OMG! I will give him the $15 just so I don't have to see that sad, sad face every again!!! :o)

If I were closer, I would give him every job I could think of just to see him smile again (because I really do respect and admire that he has to earn the money he wants for things)

Let me know if he reaches his goal!

I love you, Max

Bounced over from My Cup 2 Yours! I like your blog, and your post was funny. Those Zhu Zhu pets can clean out any kid!

I am thinking right now for something for Max......last year Lena helped paint our yard barn for $3. Gotta love cheap labor!
