Lots of Reading, Lots of Money!

Reading this summer has been so fun.
Thanks Grandma Bills for the great motivation to read.
I mentioned before how Grandma Bills paid a penny a page for each of her grandkids to read or be read to.
Joyanne read 4,533 pages in August.
Noah read 4,054 pages.
Hiram read 1,315 pages.  He doesn't like reading all that much.  So this was good.
Jaden read 3,295 pages.  He's quite the reader for being only six. 
He loved those "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books.
James read or was read to 1,364 pages.
James is reading quite well now and he's only 4 years old.
Grant was read to about 374 pages.
Way to go to my kids!!!

For the months of June, July, and August my kids read and earned:
Joyanne: $76.13
Noah: $52.14
Hiram: $20.15
Jaden: $39.52
James: $16.89
Grant: $4.74

We reminded our kids to pay tithing first and then split the rest evenly to go into savings, then spending.
They were thrilled with all the money they've earned.

Last night Joyanne said a tooth was bothering her.
She wiggled it for about 10 minutes and out it came.
Goodbye molar!

Grant fevered yesterday, last night, and this morning.
He fussed and cried and didn't fall asleep until 10p.m.
Then he was up at 6a.m. this morning not feeling well.
I went out to the couch with him and we slept until 8a.m. 

Joyanne has had quite reaccurring stuffy nose about every other month for the past year.
So I took Joyanne AND Grant into the doctor's this morning.
Grant, of course, has an ear infection.  No surprise there; I was sure of it.
Joyanne was treated for allergies and congested sinuses.
They both started feeling better this evening.
Joyanne had fun playing with Grant in the play area at the Doctor's office.
