Scott's Summer Days

What do 12 year old boys do in the summer? Lots of computer games, playing the Wii, swimming, sleep overs, playing with the dog, etc. Scott will be playing football when he goes to school this year , and so he is trying to get conditioned by getting up in the morning and running. He only has a couple weeks left before school starts, so I know he won't be in the best shape by then, but hope it will help so he won't collapse on the field. He has also been trying to figure out ways to earn money. The latest idea was to distribute 100 flyers asking for old electronic devices ( cell phones, video recorders, digital cameras etc.) that he would send in to be recylced. Each item would be worth a certain amount, depending on the make and model. So far, no one has responded to the flyers - but it has only been one day. We will probably have to make more and hit several neighborhoods. I've also had him doing odd jobs around the house for me and washing the cars. When he gets a little older, he hopes to have a lawn mowing business.
