A moment of pure mama braggin! Josiah had told Jamin if he was going to apply for a job, he needed to do it now. Zander, Nolan, and I drove Jamin to Chick Fil A to turn in an application. We were told that if Tim O was going to interview him it would be 45 minutes. His interviews are quick for those he doesn't plan on hiring. So......we bought an Oreo Shake (to split) and sat down for the wait....... In less than 5 minutes Jamin was following Tim O into the back room and setting up his first day. Jamin has his first job. He really debated about this because school is very important to him, but he's also trying to earn money to get to World View Academy in the fall.
Jared went out this afternoon to scare up a few lawns to mow. This is a hard way to earn money - it's hot! He also does windows. Jamin discovered that you walk an hour or two to find one lawn to mow...though by the end of the summer Jamin was getting calls back. Jared found another lawn to do! Every $20 will help.....I'm very proud of him for being willing to work for World View Academy and not expecting us to pay for it....though I considered paying because I REALLY want them to go! ::snort:: When Jared got home and counted his fist of $ bills he realized the man had overpaid him $1. He is on his way BACK to the house to give the man his dollar back. I'm a proud mama today!
AND...Josiah brought me a yummy Chick Fil A brownie home from work....

Good boys, all! Those are the things that you want to hear and record. :) Way to go, guys! Enjoy your brownie! Chick Fil A is my favorite from back home, so when they built one here we stalked it every day until it opened. :) Now I'm craving one. I might have to see how many points it is and splurge for lunch one weekend! LOL
How encouraging!
My Jack is desperate to find some sort of job. It's hard to know what he could do at 13 though.

Congratulations boys!
Josiah, Jamin, Jared:
WOW! You boys make your G's so proud and happy. It is nice knowing you all are such a help to your Mom and so responsible when it comes to work.
Mikhail just may have a job for this summer too. More on that later.
love you boys and praying for you
Dorothy - Jared is 13. This isn't his favorite choice - but it's making money and so he's doing it now....He is doing windows (outside windows) and lawns for folks. Jamin did this a couple of summers and made a LOT of $. It's slow to start with but as they prove themselves they begin to get repeat customers.
Or maybe one of those catalog type sales. A friends 13 yo daughter sells wreaths from Maine.
