One of these boys is a saver but the rest are fearful of burning holes in their pockets.
They have received birthday money and Christmas gift cards which we insisted be saved for future purchases. But like the widow in the Bible who kept pestering the judge for relief, they wore me down until I finally decided it would be better for all around to let them make their purchases.
Matthew got some "change" from his gift card and Jonathan squealed, "Ooh, now you have more money to squander!"
And Josie was not to be left out especially when she saw a princess in a castle.
(I would gladly spend my own money to buy a barrette to keep her hair back but it would truly be squandered - she'd never keep it in).
