Sweet Boy

This evening Adam helped me pull weeds out of my flower beds. He picked up a small tree I pulled out and said this would make a good fan. Then asked if I wanted him to fan me. Told him no that he didn’t have to. We worked some more and he asked again if I was hot and wanted him to fan me. Told Adam I was fine for how. Then Adam said, “I’m trying to be a sweet boy”.AWWW!!!! I told Adam that he was already a sweet boy. As we finished up pulling the weeds Adam said if he fanned me I wouldn’t be all sweaty. Told him as soon I was done with the area I was working on, he could fan me. I’m so bless to have such caring and loving boys.

Giving Hearts

Tonight I sat the boys down to tell them tomorrow was a pajama day at school. I asked if they wanted to wear pajamas tomorrow and of course they did. Then I explain to them that this was a special pajama day. Their school was doing this to raise money for a mom of a third grader whom was hurt real bad in a car accident. The school was asking for a donation to by gift cards for the family. Told the boys what would it be worth to them to wear pajamas to school. What did they feel in their heart? Luke came up with $2 and Adam said $30. I let the boys know I would put money in their bookbags. Adam asked if he could give his money. I said that would be fine. Luke came in with a handful of change. We counted it up and it came to $5.46. Made sure it was what he wanted to give and he said yes. Adam came out with a hand full of dollars and change. After counting it up his total came to $13.23. I ask are you sure you want to give this much. He said yes because mom’s are special. WOW!!! That brought tears to my eyes. I’m so blessed to have kids that are that caring. My prayers go out to this family.
