Odd jobs anyone? :)

Landin is working on his Personal Management merit badge. This requires him to select an item for purchase that our family considers expensive. He then has to make a plan on how to earn the money and save accordingly. Our family income is enough to pay the bills but not enough to give 4 kids an allowance too. This means in order to manage his money he needs to earn some first. :) He has decided that he will hire himself out for odd jobs and babysitting. He is 12 and in 7th grade and is good with his younger siblings (though I don't think he's quite up to care for an infant alone yet...a child older than 2 would be fine though). He listed mowing lawns and misc. yard work or "whatever you just haven't gotten around to" as suggestions. I realize that it is January and the grass isn't exactly growing much but if your yard needs to be cleaned or something along those lines and you would like to hire a 12-year-old feel free to contact us. :)
