Paper Route


Tanner has his first official job as a paper boy. This is the perfect job for him because it is only once every two weeks so it's not an everyday thing, but just enough to let him earn a little money without getting burned out. He has 170 papers to start and will probably be doing 200 before long. It's 5 cents a paper so not a whole lot but enough for a little boy, though he wasn't to sure about it when he found out he had to fold them all and put them in bags before he could deliver them.
Fold
Stuff
Stack
Deliver

Usually he will be able to ride his bike and deliver them after school but due to that fact that he has a ball game tonight at 6:00 we wouldn't have enough time so I got him up at six this morning and drove him around to do it and yes he ran and dropped them off at every house. He also did most of the folding and stuffing last night although I did help him just a little bit. I think this will be a good lesson in responsibility, hard work and money management.

Sweet! Can he do it on Sundays so you can get some extra inserts? Ha, ha. That would be awesome!

Funny, I was thinking the same thing as Taryn! Jack cannot wait to see Tanner tomorrow. He's been talking about it nonstop!
