 Robert and Mark visited Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace building.  Rob had been there before, but Mark hadn't  "I'm Debt FREEEEEEEEE!"
 They also visited RTM while in Nashville, this is the place that produces and films all those Saturday morning car build shows that run on Spike TV.  No cartoons are watched at our house Sat. morning!

They also stopped by Cooter's.  We stopped here on the way home from FL last year, but Mark had not been. 

Rob also did a ton more stops along the way on his visit to Nashville.  I am glad we decided to not make it a family trip, he was hustling around and took meetings with a ton of people.  It also turned out that the Country Music Awards were the same week, so hotel rooms were hard and $$ to come by.  I know Rob had a great time with Mark.

We are happy to have him home this week, since the Good Guys car show is in Des Moines this weekend, it will still be work, but we can easily tag along. 

I have been paying the kids a little cash to get some projects done around the house.  Emily earned a dollar today by cleaning up her art desk in the basement.  Dallas earned a quarter for emptying the dishwasher.  I have a couple other things for them to do too!  Normally I wouldn't pay for the dishwasher, but since Dallas doesn't care about money, he just leaves the quarter on the floor and I recoup it when I clean up!

Haha! Zane went through a phase where I think we kept repaying him the same quarter, too. Now he keeps careful track because he's trying to save money, but he usually blows it when he reaches $3 and wants gum.
