• • • • • • • • What: All(owance)
              • How Many:  2 (weeks)
              • How Much:  16.00 (ie; $8/week x 2 weeks)

              • Grand Total Do:  $16.00

All this in a couple short hours with her brother away on a sleepover.

My god I love mine, yet I don’t know how people have –that is, RAISE– more than two kids.
