New banks

We've been doing allowance for almost 2 years now, and the kids can also earn money for doing extra jobs around the house (pulling bags of weeds, washing and folding loads of laundry, cleaning kitchen chairs, etc.) They can get a "match" for money they put in savings, and then they also put 10% in tithing and 10% in a mission fund. For a while I have been using small tupperware containers for the kids to hold their savings, tithing and mission funds. After they came raining down from the cabinet again the other day, I finally upgraded... to fishing tackle boxes!
The banks lay nice and flat now, and they organize everything very nicely. The kids love to get them down and carefully count everything in them.
