Candy Store

When we were younger my mom use to give us odd jobs to do around the house and pay us in change. Then she would have a candy store for us and get all of her money back!! LOL! It was one super fun thing that I remember when I was younger. And it is nice because you use up all the candy hanging around your house, you don't really lose any money AND chores get done!! We tried it with the kids today and I don't think I have ever seen their room get cleaned faster! haha We have a ton of candy from easter so this was a good way to get rid of it I thought!


They patiently waited in line with their little hands full of change to make their sugar purchases. It was so cute! Here the girls already had their bags of candy and Emmett was thoughtfully looking over the candies to make his money stretch the farthest!


And here is the end product! All of them have a bag of sugar, a smile on their face and a clean room! Can you tell it was conference sunday? They look so nicely groomed! LOL!!

So fun!!! You have a super smart mom! I'll have to remember that. Right now, Kirk LOVES to clean, especially vacuuming and spraying things.

that is such a fun idea! How cute that your mom did tha, very clever. We would have, "out for grabs" where we would throw out little pieces of candy of what we didnt' want to eat. Fun stuff.
