...as I may have already told some of you, the girls and I have started a little game that we play, off and on throughout the day. We are an office. I am the boss, Mr. Schmelding. Sara is Johnson (just Johnson). Allison is Eichmann (just Eichmann). Cathy is our secretary/receptionist/office manager, Ms Culpepper. Certain misbehaviors on the part of Johnson and/or Eichmann may cause them to have to work through lunch, work late, and, in extreme cases, on Saturday. The TPS reports must be completed daily, and the figures must add up and please the shareholders. Of special importance are the coversheets for said TPS reports. Of course, there are no real reports, no real shareholders, etc., but we have fun. Teaching them early to work in an office environment may spur them on to greater, more creative things...(I can only hope).
When it started, Sara wanted no part of it, simply because she objected to being called, "Johnson". Similarly, Allison was not pleased with her original designation, "Snodgrass". But when we agreed on a name change for Allison, Sara came on board and I can proudly say that, as of 8:32 pm today, our stock price remains unchanged!

Phil,
How creative!!! I am impressed.
I am sure it is fun and meaningful for you and your family. How I wish that it could be put into a form that could be shared with other families. (Not pushing, just wushing). Maybe when the time is right.
Again, I am impressed.
