Pink Sparkle Princess Shoes

My sweet Abbie girl saved up her personal fun money for a month to purchase these pink sparkle princess shoes!

Each week our kiddos get $5 for their allowance.  $1 goes to offering and the other $4 are theirs to save and spend, so they end up with $16-20 in their "fun money" banks each month (depending on whether it was a 4 or 5 week month).  We provide our kiddos with their food, clothing, school supplies, and presents on holidays and birthdays, but other than that our kids use their fun money to purchase their toys, movie theater tickets, ice cream cones, special clothing items, etc.

Greg and I love our system because we simply budget $50 a month for the kids fun money, and we rarely hear "Can I have this or that?" requests because the kids know our answer, "Sure...if you use your fun money to purchase it."  Our kids are 5 and 3, but they already get the basic concepts of saving and spending money.

Abbie has been longing for these pink sparkle shoes that she saw at Payless when we were purchasing practical black Mary Jane shoes for fall/winter, so she saved her money for one month to purchase these pink sparkle princess shoes and she now lives in them!  Greg and I can't imagine Christian ever using his fun money to purchase a pair of shoes, so we couldn't help but giggling over the girliness of our little princess in her pink sparkle shoes. :)
