We had a huge wind storm here yesterday.  There was a hurricane watch across the state so we’re lucky we just got the winds.  However, the winds knocked down a ton or sticks and small branches.  As I was picking them up this afternoon I offered the kids a penny a stick to help me.  They eagerly agreed!  Eve went for the big sticks (most helpful), but Lex with his savvy went for the small sticks to earn the most money!  He earned $3.00 and she earned $1.09.  Money well spent!  I would have earned well over $10!  To bad no one pays me to pick up sticks in my own yard.
