Peter John and Gretchen have been earning some of their own money on local paper routes. It has been lots of work for Mom and Dad, too, helping them get set up, make decisions, and solve problems. My friend Angie's kids have paper routes and it has instilled a great work ethic in them and given them some of their own spending cash. When Ethan was growing up, he and his siblings had paper routes, too, so this is nothing new for his family. It has been a great way for them to get to know some neighbors who seem to really like these two kiddos.
Most of this week we had temps in the 90s plus high humidity. Those days were definitely a trial. The kids lacked the motivation to go out and do it. Their dad had them wet a cap and put ice in it before placing it on their heads, plus they had plenty of water in a bottle to carry with them. I am so proud of them for persevering through some tough days. They survived! Lots of prayers were going up to God for them from Mommy. Today we had a great rainfall and break in the heat with cool weather in the 60s! What a relief!
