Happy birthday to Sarina Parks!

This evening we found out that Alex has been taking from her collectable state quarter collection in order to have money to buy stuff like junk food. We realized that she is obviously ready to understand the value of money. I have about ten feet tall stacks worth of paper left to be scanned in and no good time to do it so I've hired Alex as my personal document scanner. For every 50 files she creates out of my stacks of old paperwork and school files, she gets one dollar. If she works quick she can make about $2.40/hr during her inside time, which is a pretty good rate for an 8 year old. I figure she'll probably have enough attention span for about a dollar a day, and I've got plenty of paper for her to keep working with.
