My Boys

For a while Camden has been saving his money. It seemed to changed each week what it was for. He was able to sell a few of his more pricy Pops last summer and didn't spend most of it. Earlier this year, one of his cousins got an Oculus. After trying that out, he was hooked, he was now saving for that. For a kid who doesn't have a job, it took a while to get all of the money. After months and months and months of begging for us to put two more of his higher dollar Pops up. I caved and put them up on a site and he got the last half of the money from that. I went to Target to get it and put it on his bed for him to see after school. This was after talking to him a few times to make sure that he really wants to spend this much money on one thing. All of the kids love it and it is played quite often. So far he loves it, and hopefully he stays that way. 
Beck on the other hand has spent most of the money that he has made the last year. All except a chunk. He really wanted to finally open a bank account and we finally did that. He loved leaving the bank with his own debit card and his own money. We showed him how to check his balance and told him he is responsible now for all of his money. We did go to Target so he could buy something. He got a candy and said the off brand was just as good and only $1 so it's better. Now that it's his money he wants to show bargains.

Few Updates

This past weekend Emery and Jackson went to Twin to stay with cousins. I was also on call, so we decided to have a lazy day at home with the boys. We picked a few movies, got some movie snacks and food and watched movies all day. It was perfect. I can't say the last time that I just relaxed for a whole day. 
We picked up the kids in Mountain Home. They had a blast in Twin but were also ready to be home. 
They didn't make it the whole way home. 
The kids are finally back in school. Monday is still an at home day for the older three, but the rest in all in-person. The dogs are not loving it. They have been used to someone home all day for over a year. Someone to sleep next to and pet them all day. Now it's just Brad and I at home, but we are working. They have a blanket that I will put on our bed so they can lay on it. I hate dog hair on the bed and this is the only way they are allowed to lay on our bed.
