McDonald's & Money

Micah had the girls pay for their own meals at McD's the other night. I was so proud of him. Elizabeth contemplated for a long time about what she was going to get and ended up getting her 2nd choice instead of her first. Today they are going to pay their way to a pool they have been wanting to go to. I gave everyone the option not to go, but everyone has chosen to pay their own way. We have always given the kids everything, so this is a big step for all of us. They appreciate it so much more and I think are beginning to realize why we never go out to eat or do other special things except on very rare occasions. I spent $30 at the grocery store this week. It was only for 4 days, but I was so thankful to be able to keep it cheap after an expensive weekend.
