lesson learned

We went to Walmart last weekend to pick a my prescription for my strep throat (fun times) and while we waited we looked around the store. We passed by the toy section, which is always a little scary=0) The kids were already tired from swimming all day, and Kylie found a baby that she HAD to have. She became very upset, when I told her that we weren't going to buy it at the moment. She started to cry and scream, and I had to come up with a plan super quick to save us all from an embarrassing moment. I told her that when we got home, we could see how much money was in her piggy bank. Her and Carson have done a great job at saving money for a few months. She calmed down right away, and loved the idea. Kyle was amazed by my super ability to prevent a full out tantrum;) So the next morning we headed to the bank with the piggy's
We counted the money...............and they had enough for the toys they wanted! Yay!!
Carson had a hard time understanding why all that change that he worked so hard at saving, turned into just a few bills. That was a little hard to explain. You can tell by the look on his face=)

We headed over to pick up the toys with their hard earned money..............

This is the baby that Kylie had to have, and Carson picked out a couple more trains for his collection. They were both very happy, and realized that money doesn't grow on trees! It was a great lesson, and they are now working to fill up those banks again!

Kylie's doll pee's too, so we have to go back to pick up some diapers for her. ha.ha. Crazy!
