The Donald should watch out

Little Marc is obsessed with starting businesses and earning money lately. Everyday we have to listen to him brainstorm and come up with his different strategies and prices.

Also yesterday, he helped me and Daddy so much in the yard that Marc said, "I'll give you a nickle for every weed you pull in the front yard,"- consider it weeded- the boy cleaned up.

My little man has ambition! And can make his own promotional flyers!

Um, do you remember me waking you up in middle school or high school in the middle of the night with some big idea to turn my grandfather's old house into the newest teenage coffee shop/hangout?! :) Never swelch that kid's ambition! (Not that I think y'all would!) It's going to take him somewhere one day! Watch out, Mr. Trump!
