PAYTON and JONO!
So, I "suggested"picking and selling cherries from our trees in back. (Do mom's really ever suggest anything? Or is it more of a mandate posing as a suggestion :) ) They were really pretty good workers for 8 and 6. Mark sprayed to eliminate the nasty worms with spray the boys bought. Then they picked, washed, weighed, bagged and sold their cherries for $3/lb. The sold part was definitely the most enjoyable. I think they sold 15 or so lbs. But as I said to - many a mom - "I don't care if they make a penny, I just hope they learn a little something about work." I believe we don't see the fruits of our labor immediately with this kind of stuff, but I HOPE the payoff will come as they grow!
