Poor little worker bees.
The boys had gone up to Petes at 9am to do the vine pulling and they busted their butts for about 2 hours. They came home and were so exhausted but he paid them decent so they went to Subway and bought us all subs for lunch. Yum.
So on their way back home, Mark stops in at Petes for beef jerky and Pete has more work for them to do so they are heading back up there again in a little bit.
Hey, I know they are kids and all but they are teen-ish and this gives them spending money and when they go to apply for jobs later, they can use all these little side jobs as references. I know Pete would gladly write them a letter saying how responsible they are etc.
Heck, if Mark were one year older, Pete said he'd hire him to work in the store.
We've lived in this house for 7 and 1/2 years now. Pete has watched them grow up and he asked me yesterday how old Mark was cuz if he was old enough, he could use another part time employee kid.
That's pretty cool.
Mark can be such a jerky teen sometimes but I did raise him to be responsible and people see that.
No if I could just get him to stop giving me the look of death when I wake him up in the morning, we might make it through the summer.

I think it's great that both boys are working for their spending money. Too many kids today are spoiled brats who get everything handed to them. You're doing a great job, raising your boys the right way!
