My kids rock!

So I just had a couple things I wanted to jot down before I forgot! Last night Andie was mysteriously working on a project for awhile. I asked her what she was doing and she told me that she packed up a bunch of her toys (They were in a big cardboard box with tape over it) and told me that she wanted to give them away. I asked her why and to who and she told me that she wanted to give them to kids that didn't have any toys to play with, because she has been so lucky and has so many! This was such a tender little moment for me. There is such joy when things just click for your kids. I have been trying to teach her that giving is the most important thing to do this time of year and I don't like to sugar coat things for my kids, I want them to know that there are lots of kids out there that are far less fortunate than them. It looks like it's paying off a little bit. Now she's so excited and wants to wrap all of them up and she keeps saying "Those kids are going to be so happy!"
