This weekend (March 3rd) was the first weekend we started work in the greenhouses for this season. Autumn was super excited to get to spend the weekend with both grandmas. Saturday morning when we got up she came downstairs and got out her own cereal and started eating without waiting for mom and dad. She insisted she get dressed immediately and started putting on her coat and shoes before we had woken Henry or even ate our own breakfast.
We dressed autumn in her ugliest clothes for “work gear” before we went. She kept asking “why” we were in those clothes. We told her we were working… “Why”… to make money! That got her excited. Autumn has been in love with money for a while now and just loves to put change in her piggy bank and watch me count it out to take to the bank. She has her own savings account and she loves when she gets to go to the bank with me because the ladies in town give her suckers.
Autumn kept declaring during the weekend that she was working for “big money”. She helped fill dirt pots and carried pots back and forth for us in the greenhouse. At the end of the weekend grandma paid her with a small bucket of loose change. We took autumn to the store to buy one treat with her money. The rest came home with her and was stashed in her piggy bank!
