Hi,
Tonight the kids and I went to the Dollar Store so Quinn could purchase his gifts for the Greencroft residents. He's been working quite hard for extra money the last month or so. Yesterday he told me that he completely picked up Nater's basement while Nater played and watched him and that his mom wanted to pay him $5 because it was such a big job but he didn't want to take her money so he wondered if I would pay him instead! I of course I paid him the $5 and told him it would be OK to take her money if he explained what he was saving it for! I'm sure she would have been delighted to help out! I wouldn't want him to take it for his own piggy bank. In hindsight... I think I got the raw end of the deal! : ) Anyway, he was quite happy with his savings and he felt good about picking out double the requested amount of supplies for the residents (we had a list to go from). He enjoyed paying too.
After the store, I took them to church for the Christmas program practice and when we walked in I thought it was a little strange that I didn't see any kids around. Come to find out, they practiced this past Monday instead of tonight. Why? I don't know, but I completely missed that one. The kids said, "oh yah, they did tell us that at the beginning of practice last week." Guess the message didn't get passed on! That's the second practice they've missed and I even got an email today asking if they were really going to sing in the program this Sunday night?!!! I didn't think we were that bad! I'm waiting for the program truent officer to knock on the door! Wow, they run a tight ship I guess. They've been practicing since November 1st!
Tony got home from Indy around 8pm tonight. I always worry about him traveling with his truck. It's definitely a "beater" of a vehicle. It's a '95 and sounds terrible. I asked him one time why he doesn't get the muffler fixed... he told me it was the closest he would ever get to driving a Harley and so he was keeping his sound! Ha!
That's all for tonight folks. Tomorrow is Thursday! Yipee!
Love to all, Leah
