I was afraid the trumpet might not be the best. I'll keep my eyes open online though!

I also think it's great that the kids are earning their own money. You're right about it being a great lesson for them. I hope they continue to do well!

They did alright today and earned $19 but quit early. I think the heat was getting to them as it was to me. You know I use to handle watching other peoples kids but wow these extra few are wearing me out! I have been extremely tired these past few days with all the extra kids. I think I am just getting old. I miss the energy I had in my younger days.

I use to be able to accomplish so much and oh all the fun activities I use to do with my daycare. Not anymore, now the energy just is not around. I rented Steven's trumpet today, wow what an annoying instrument. Did I menton in the past how small my house is. Well small houses and loud instruments just dont mix. He is already 26 pages into his beginner book and can actually play some songs. Again do you know how loud a trumpet is. Clarinets can get loud, the flute is a nice pleasant sounding instrument, trumpet is LOUD. I think he will have to practice outside with this one. Hey maybe the next time the kids call you, Steven can play a tune for you LOL.

They are having a ball doing this and in all honesty it is a wonderful learning experience. They both take turns on taking care of the "books". The are learning about supply and demand and keeping their little business running. One day this coming week they are setting their stand up in front of their dad's place of business that sits on one of the main roads in our town. Should be fun for them.
