Today our family did the hunger walk in support of the Hawaii Food Bank. It was Quintin's idea actually. Everyweek he would hear about it in church and ask if we could participate. This morning before we left I was telling the boys how we were donating money to help people who don't have food or any money to buy food. Ashton ran off into the kitchen, came quickly back and asked where his money was. I got his bank down for him and he told me he was going to give it to the people who didn't have food. It just melted my heart! I helped him pick out some quarters (he also wanted a penny) to give and when we got there he put it up on the table with our donations. I was so proud of him for wanting to be generous. The other boys jumped on board and got money from their banks to give, too.
We had a great time. After the walk there was some entertainment. One of the churches had a group of kids dance to hip hop/gospel music and Quintin thought that was about the coolest thing he'd ever seen. There was also a big dinosaur walking around and the boys were very excited about that.
Tonight we're getting pizza (ahhhh YUCKY dairy...don't tell ann) and watching Night at the Museum, which has become one of our favorites. Quintin gave me a huge hug and told me he loved me when I said "let's get pizza". Dan threw the frozen sausage back into the freezer and said "yeah!!!" Apparently giving up diary is more of a sacrifice for them than for me.
I'm looking out the screen door to see that all the diapers have flown off of my portable clothes line (the double jogging stroller) so I'd better go get them off of the ground. God's peace and love to all!
