Back to school pictures coming soon!
Our girls have tooooooooooooooooooo many toys! They also have a hard time giving up toys, but they want more toys. So I came up with an ingenious idea. I am buying their toys so they can get cash to buy a new toy. I am offering them a quarter for small toys, fifty cents for bigger toys and one dollar for big toys. They've already brought us quite a few toys, and we just started this last night. If they bring us a bunch of toys for just one new toy, that works for me! :) When we have a good pile of toys, we'll take them to a charity and give them away. Well, the nice toys anyway.
Thanks to my sister for recommending her peeps to come visit me. I love the encouragement.

That's a great idea! I'm definitely going to have to try it with my kids. I saw that you are a special ed teacher too. YEAH! My son has Spinal Muscular Atrophy type I and I go to school with him every day. We need good special ed teachers. Enjoy the time at home with your kids for now. God has a plan in all of this. Just hard to trust in the waiting.

That is such a great idea. Mine have a hard time even getting rid of the cheapy toys, but if they know they can get money to buy a new toy, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to part with them. I'm trying this. Thanks for the great idea.
Fabulous idea. My son isn't old enough yet, but I hope to teach him the value of giving to others. TFS!
