Big Spender

Earlier in the school year, Xander participated in the fifth grade entrepreneur fair at school. He and his amazing teacher Mrs. B helped formulate his business plan at school. We baked home made chocolate chip cookies at home. And he sold them at the fair, both during school and again after school.

Turns out, he is quite the entrepreneur (and the people at school happen to know and like Mom's home made chocolate chip cookies). He also happened to score the best spot at the fair, right as people walked in the main doors. I'm sure that also helped.

Cookies were 25 cents each, or a whole jar for 5 dollars. He sold out his inventory, and cleared $40 cash after paying for the cookie supplies and his booth rental fee and his interest fee (for Mom and Dad loaning the money on the supplies).





Today we made it to the store where he got to pick out a few things to buy with his hard-earned money. I loved that of all the things in Toys 'R Us, he ended up picking two retro toys that I had as a child. An Etch-a-Sketch and a Playskool Xylaphone. Art and music, two of his loves.
