Getting crafty for sanities sake

So I have decided to implement a new system to get the kids to help around the house more. I wrote down 6 chores that they can help with and I will pay them $2 a week. So in order to keep them from losing their money we made "piggy" banks. We started with these empty cookie canisters. Everyone picked out their own paper and designed it how they wanted.

It was fun to see the creative side of the kids come out.


And yet they are all pretty similar as far as the stamps they chose to use.

Now for the grand finale. If they argue, whine or tell me no...they have to pay me a quarter so of course I had to have a bank too. Which I am happy to say does have a little bit of money in it but nothing for the last week or so. The kids have over all been very good about doing their assigned chores and the house looks great.
