Paper Routes

I forgot to tell all of you that we are professional newspaper delivery people. What started out as my bright idea for Jordan and Connor to make a little extra money, has turned into a family affair.
We now have 4 routes around our neighborhood and deliver over 200 papers Tuesday thru Saturday. Dave and I thought it might be a good family project to earn money for a family vacation at the end of the summer. Although we get up early in the morning, I've enjoyed the one on one time with Jordan and sometimes the boys, and sometimes just Dave and I go. We kind of rotate so that no one person gets burned out. Anyway, a lot of people think we're crazy, but it's nice and quiet in the early a.m. hours and it gives me the exercise that I otherwise wouldn't get sitting behind my desk all day. We started with two routes in April and we'll keep you posted on how long our little extra job lasts......
By the way, Connor appeared in last Friday's edition, which is becoming "old NEWS" around here.

I think you might be crazy too.... I don't think I could deal with those early hours, however I do think it's a great idea! What a great job for everyone to pitch in and help out with. Way to go! Kellie
