Needs some extra cash??

Okay, so Lou is right this minute, on his way to Target.
To pick up Mac and friends.
Mac has been playing his guitar
in front of Target-
for money.
He earned 8 dollars in less then 30 minutes!
They are spending the 8 dollars on toilet paper.
Hmmm.....wonder what they have planned
next.
I am sitting here Laughing at the thought of this picture-
oh, how I would love to have a picture!
Did they have a cup or a hat for the money?
maybe no one recognized him.
I can only hope.

p.s.
I think I should take a cut in the profits.
I pay for the guitar lessons.

p.p.s
secretly, I think this sounds like way too much fun.
I've always told my kids I could have been a rock star...
but I chose to be a mom instead.

That is very entreprenuereal. (I totally spelled that wrong). I think it is great they went to Target to earn money.

Austin plays his guitar at school at lunch. People toss coins into his hat and he has made about $30 playing at lunch. Maybe Mac can take advantage of the last week of school to pick up some extra cash.

It's not really that far a leap from the lemonade stand when they are six, to the guitar gig when they are 16.

Love it!!! Reminds me of when my wallet got stolen in New York and the kids begged me to let them sing in the subway station and they earned 40 dollars in ten minutes and it was enough to get us home!
I want McKay's autograph now before he makes it big!
So who was the lucky person they toilet papered???

I think this is just the beginning. Who could stop at one night of success at Target?? That sounds way too fun. I bet they hurt from laughing so hard.

I wish Mac would come to our Target maybe he will be the next American Idol! That is so funny I can just picture him doing that, its a good thing Mac and Justin Whiting weren't born at the same time who knows what they would have thought of together. I think he is very creative to come up with money for tp who knows maybe he thought you were getting low at home you know you should'nt jump at conclusions. love you

That is hillarious.. Jer and I used to do dumb things like that but we didn't have musical talents.. we danced past 5 buck pizza right Jer? and hasn't he learned that you just sneak the TP out of your Mom's storage?
