Be Still My Financial Heart

We had a crazy day yesterday.  Or, in homeschool-speak, our day was fairly on par.  (That's my oh-so-clever way to reiterate that there is no "normal" day in home education.  Did you catch that?)  We lesson'd in the morning and during Lollypop's morning nap.  After she woke up, we headed to the new Children's Museum in town to fix a membership card issue that I didn't trust to get fixed via a phone call.

After sort of fixing said issue, we headed to a late lunch at CiCi's.    The kids ate, and while I was sitting with the wee'est one at the table, the older two went into the little video game room. They pretended to play the games and just generally amused themselves. Poodle came out asking for a dollar that she could change into quarters so that she and her brother could actually play some games. 

Tooter spent his two quarters on two games of the candy grabbing thingy. (he later wished he had used them on the rifle game, but experience is the most effective teacher).  Eh. He's only five.

Poodle used her first quarter on a pinball game where she won a gumball. Score. Then, my eldest child, who is apparently totally brilliant and is the next Warren Buffet, ;-), decided to save her 2nd quarter and bring it home to deposit into her piggy bank.

Can I get an amen from the GaGa and the Aunt Jennifer who I know are grinning right now?  Woo and inDEED hoo!!
