Madison is also enjoying Coach Pitch Softball this year. She is learning a lot and has fun with her team. She especially enjoyed bringing the after game snack!
The weather has brought havoc to many across the US. The girls have had to revamp both "field trips" to be at school because of flooding and this past week, and we had a minor flood (on a smaller scale from last year) and it included water in the basement. The girls think it's fun to have a slumber party in Aliya's room.
The last sunny weekend we had a garage sale. The girls got to sell refreshments and we raised money to fill shoeboxes for Operations Christmas Child. Giving is Madison's spiritual gift, she said to me twice, "Mom, when we fill shoe boxes for kids, it makes me feel so good." After our last session of Financial Peace in the lesson on giving, Derrick came home and asked the girls, if you had $100 what would you do with it? Madison thought about it and answered, "I'd fill shoeboxes." Oh, what you can learn from a seven year-old.
