Doing good....

The kids didn't have school today and Shea began planning last night..... I knew we were in trouble when she showed me her "Save the Panda Bears Bake Sale" poster.

I really do love that Shea is so creative.
and enthusiastic.
and giving.

But sometimes it does wear me out. After trying (unsuccessfully) to convince her to plan other things for her day off, I gave up and decided to just do a little redirecting. We've been talking with our kids for the past few days about the earthquake in Haiti and ways we could help, so with a little prompting, Shea decided her bake sale would be for Haiti. Courtney came over and brought a pumpkin pie, cupcakes and oreos. Then we made oatmeal and sugar cookies. A strange combination, but for $2, who could resist a plate of all that??

They sold five plates (they had six, but donated one plate to the missionaries :)

So tomorrow we will be donating their proceeds to the Red Cross. The panda bears will have to wait until another day. And another mother.

Shea, How very sweet to give up your day off to do something so thoughtful. You should be very proud of yourself and I know those young Haitians will be especailly grateful. Keep up the good works.
