Lifes Like That

As you all know, I have two younger children still living at home.  My daughter is eight and my son is six.  I have to say that they are pretty great kids.  Now I’ll tell you why.  Today was their last book fair at their school for the year.  My husband sent them to school this morning with eight dollars each.  When they both arrived home from school they showed me what they purchased and for once they didn’t purchase a bunch of junk.  Then they both informed me that they each gave one of their friends a couple of dollars as their friends didn’t have any money to buy anything with.  I thought this was so awesome.  I don’t mind that they shared their money and it just goes to show you how caring and thoughtful they both are.  They would rather go with a little less stuff, then see any other child go without.

So just in case I didn’t mention this before, I have got a couple of GREAT kids and it makes me very proud to see them growing up in this way.
