Add another $75 for a total of $1041

First things first. Monday we delivered the gingerbread house to the winner of the raffle. Ms. Eugenia works at a local store and was so excited. I don't think she could wait to dig in...she asked if they were completely edible. Thank you to everyone for your support by purchasing a raffle ticket.

Then we sold a Winnie the Pooh Totem Pole wall hanging from the etsy site but the order is being paid by money order (on its way) so I'm not going to add it to the total yet. Then we got an order for a chalkboard. All of the money minus shipping charges is going towards the trip. It's adding up quickly.

The biggest development so far is that Zach and his younger brother have reached a business agreement. Jacob has hired Zach to be his butler for $5 a day. This includes a detailed list of things that are required of him in a days time, such as make his bed daily, prepare snacks, play with him at least once a day, etc...I'm rather enjoying not having to make snacks for him. I have to admit I am getting spoiled. We'll see how long this lasts. It's probably going to be a while before he runs out of money. They'll probably get tired of it long before that!

Thanks for checking in on our status...'til next time.
