SAVING OUR PENNIES!

Setting goals is easy... it's trying to achieve them that takes discipline!   We counted the money in Angelo's piggy bank this week. 

He wants to save his money for a certain Star Wars "MAN" he has been eyeing at walmart.  He is doing chores to earn the money but keeps saying "Chairs and Churs" instead of CHORES. 
He makes me laugh so hard the way he pronounces things and gets confused about words still.  I think I will be sad when Angelo has mastered the English language.  One of my favorite things that he ever said was about James,
"Hims workin on Hims puter" a hah ha hah  I LOVE IT......  or recently he was hiding behind the curtains and said, "MOM, guess where is I"  haaa ah ahah
Angelo has saved $10.61 and counting!!!  We counted the money James and I are collecting too.... we had $45.40!    I am proud of Angelo and will encourage him to continue saving!!!

I was thinking of teaching him these terms too.... C note, Grand, buck, moolah, single, dough, five-spot, deuce, bones and Benjamins??!!!  ha!

    A penny for your thought.. His auntie will teach him this one one! Then, if he asks me for my thought I'll put a penny in his bank.. Good work mommy! Saving up to come to Italia.
    He'll have to remember though that it isn't the shiny stuff that counts the most ;)

    Love the double rainbow in your header! I also treasure my 5 year old's saying too--just want to write his exact words down or get them on video so I can remember these cute little days once he masters our language!!
