Saving our pennies for the Princess Castle!

Ever since Jim and I started following the Dave Ramsey plan, we have been talking a lot about money and a budget around our house. We have always told the kids they don't get something every time we go to a store and Skylar has watched me use coupons since she was little. So, with all this talk about budgeting and saving money, Skylar and Jimmy want to know what we are saving for. I told them we are saving for college, for our future, and to take a trip to Disney world! With this news, Skylar was so excited! She doesn't really care about anything in Disney except for seeing "the princess castle" So now, every time she wants something from the store, before I can even say "yes" or "no" she tells me, "never-mind, we are saving our pennies to go see the princess castle" This has worked out more sweet than I could have ever imagined. I sure hope "the princess castle" is all she has made it out to be when we finally get there (we are planning to go in the summer of 2013.) She will be in Kindergarten and Jimmy will be 4!
