So, Scooter and Skeeter are baking til the cows come home. Seriously. Every night they bake a double batch of Jake's Cakes, their homemade dog treats. And, it has been a test in perseverance. They are getting tired of it. Part of me thought, "Oh no. They don't like this. It isn't fun."
(Stepping back making a look of disbelief at myself!)
I never advertised that this project would be fun, at least that wasn't my main emphasis. I'd advertised that they could earn money.
I'm glad they see the connection. Work is work. It isn't pretty. It isn't (always) fun. It's messy. It takes TIME. I like that they are realizing that money doesn't come out of the microwave. The Bible never condones get-rich-quick schemes (Read Proverbs.) I really think it's healthy to understand that slow and steady gets the job done. Last year, after it was all said and done, Skeeter said, "That was a lot of work, but it was worth it." This is why this Jake's Cakes project is so important to me for the Blossoms. That's what Scooter and Skeeter are learning.
