Sunday: subcontracting

The boys got along very well today.  It started around 4pm, when Isaac was doing some work for extra money.  (Oh, he got to $40 yesterday and was then sad because we didn't have another $20 bill in the house.  Apparently it's cool to have large denominations.)  He was shredding, and Joshua started helping.  Before I gave Isaac his money, I asked if he thought Joshua should get some too.  Isaac gave an amount that was 40% of the amount he got for doing one bucket full of shredding.  Joshua followed Isaac around, and next they sorted some laundry.  It turned into a game, and Joshua had to put socks in Ben's sock drawer.  (Side note: Isaac was flabbergasted when I told him that Ben's socks were going in the drawer all messy.)  Joshua got a percentage of that money too.

Then they started playing a game.  I don't know exactly what was going on, but there was a ton of laughter.  They enjoyed playing with each other so much that they even had a sleepover, and they haven't done that for a while.
