{hearts of pink}

I could tell you about how much I can't stop thinking about hot pink..or how much I love the above angular ornaments but alas I feel more like talking about the fact that I lost track of my kids for 6.2 minutes while I was on a mission to finish the dishes only to go outside and find them exiting our neighbors house with a white basket full of money (they had already made it to 3 homes). Apparently they were collecting it for the poor. I wonder what my neighbors thought when these little kids knocked on the door saying they were collecting money for the poor...They must have taken pity or felt REAL generous that day because they didn't do too bad for being such fine young beggars. At first I didn't know how to handle the little scenario..I mean, should I have made them return the money??? In the end I decided they were pretty darn adorable so we took all $12.32 to the homeless shelter that evening. The folks at the shelter told my girls that they could come back when they were 10 to help make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They made them feel like such little contributors to our society. It was a win win for everyone because of the feelings that beamed from all of our hearts.

We are going on a unexpected journey to see family so sorry for the silence. Sometimes there isn't much one can control in life....except not breaking the law..and that may even be debatable...darn photo police camera.


P.S. - Can we discuss how awesome Erica Powell's skirt is. I think I may want a pink article of clothing that fits my bottom half.
