New Wheels... For Nate...

I am so proud of Nate. He has been earning money this summer to buy a new bike. His old bike is getting too small for him, but I explained to him that we didn't have the money to just go buy a bike right away. His birthday is in December so that wasn't a very good alternative either.

So, he's been doing odd jobs around the house, and volunteering to help out while he was off track to earn a dollar here and there. I told him I would pay half. He has been riding his bike to school and we have been going on nightly bike rides as a family, so the motivation was to get a new bike quick!

While we were at Walmart the other day, they had this bike on the scratch n dent rack. The only think wrong it is the vinyl was coming up from under the seat. Well, we just happened to have a new bike seat at home not being used... Perfect! It was 35% off for that reason only.

I now have a large ziplock bag full of quarters, dimes, nickels & pennies...
