About a week ago the kids did some extra chores to earn money. They even washed the van for a buck each. Why?
Because after begging all summer I finally agreed that if they earned enough money they could buy ice cream from the ice cream truck. Only problem, our Ice Cream truck went missing for days! Saturday he came while the kids were inside for a consequence of some typical childhood wrongdoing- so they could not cash in, Tears. Then he came again on the Sabbath, talk about TORTURE!!
Well, on Wednesday- First day of school-EVE!!! The ice cream truck pulls into the neighborhood right as I finish making dinner. Like a good mom who keeps her word- we tromped out to the curb, cash in hand, to make due on the treat of the summer!!! Joy! They even ate dinner just fine after dessert.
