I'm always impressed with all of your fun plans -- I'll have to try teaching my kids something one day:) As for tithing -- I've had some whine about it and I think I went with my Dad's technique of lecturing about how many blessings we have and giving them a guilt trip. Probably not the best plan but they pay it now and don't whine so somewhere along the line they learned not to groan about it.Sherie Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994444854624812741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472937265457100733.post-64599510736617213512008-06-27T08:18:00.000-07:002008-06-27T08:18:00.000-07:00I debated Webkinz back at Christmastime - but at t...I debated Webkinz back at Christmastime - but at that point Po still had hope that I would find new batteries for his Tamagotchi , and one take care of it virtual pet was sufficient! I'll keep my mouth shut on this one for as long as possible though, I'm already sharing the computer with M's being obsessed with NickJr.com (those are some wacky characters, glad we don't have cable!)<BR/>As for tithing... hmmm... my boys all were okay with it, we did those electronic banks where it divided the 10% for tithing and whatever you picked for spending and savings... maybe because it was an electronic gadget... H has been less thrilled with the idea - but I'm thinking it's connected to the small $ amounts... maybe when she's up to a few more bucks the remaining won't look so sad?TisforTonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666161027683872670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472937265457100733.post-18118278049198119662008-06-27T07:08:00.000-07:002008-06-27T07:08:00.000-07:00I hadn't heard of webkinz either!

Miles is adamant about not wanting to go on a mission or have the priesthood.

And the tithin...I love to hear about the real Kate! And the tithing thing was sooo true at our house. We invested in those plastic banks that have a slot each for Fun, Mission and Tithing. And the kids were very good about putting the money in the right spot. Until we actually took the tithing money OUT to put in the envelope and Isaac realized that he was no longer the steward and that money was really going bye bye. He had a mini tantrum and it was a good lesson that we need to regularly make them pay so it's more habitual. Wow. I never thought we would have a similar Kate/Isaac story!<BR/>And thanks for the tip on Webkinz. I'll put that on our blocked sites!Megzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753816457840866418noreply@blogger.com
