Lifes Like That

Well it’s that time of year.  When all the charities are going full force with their campaigning to help other unfortunate people to be able to have a good Christmas.  My kids are so good this time of year.  The want to get involved in all the charity giving that they possibly can around this time of year.  This year their school has gotten involved in the shoe box program again.  What this means is that each grade level brings in some type of non perishable item for the shoe boxes.  When these boxes are all filled, they are then sent to a more unfortunate country to be given to people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to enjoy the Christmas season.  This morning they went to school with their items and they are so…proud to be able to be involved with this project again this years.  I am so proud that my kids are such giving people and I really hope they continue with their giving nature in years to come.

In January one of my best friends is going to Vegas and I am so jealous! Seriously, this is a major trip for her as we live in Canada so to be able to make a trip to Vegas will cost quite a bit, but this is a once in a life time trip that I know that she will be able to experience. Her and her husband have worked very hard during their lives so this is pretty much a celebration to them of all their hard work. Since she refuses to let me jump in her suitcase, she has promised to bring me back a collector’s spoon. And when she gets back, she will tell me all about it, so I can relive the experience with her. Better than nothing. I think…..
