About once a week the girls get a card from Grandma Carol and Papa Dave with a dollar. They love seeing their names on the envelopes and tear them to pieces!!!
For St. Patty's Day the card had a little extra---$10!!!!!
The timing of the $10 was perfect. We just picked up 3 baskets at church to fill for children staying at shelters, and the suggested amount to spend was $10. My plan was to take the girls to the Dollar Bin at Target and let them pick out 10 things. However, I was there with just Macy and Whitney and decided letting Macy loose in the Dollar Bin would be much calmer than all 3. So we bought all the goodies and I decided to make a store at home for the girls.
Waiting for the goodies to be set out.
Each girl went around and put one thing from each pile in their baskets.
The girls did a really good job filling the baskets and never once got upset that they weren't getting to keep the toys.
Macy thought the purse should be filled.
All done and ready to be delivered to a little friend.
Life is Good when you can help others.
