two.

two things.

one.  pratt went today with clint to a small community that our sunday school class assists throughout the year.  they have a little church and community center and several times a year, we take food to them and serve them lunch.

thursday he took 3 of his own dollars to the dollar store.  he bought a new stuffed kitty cat.  (he loves stuffed animals) and a snow globe and a package of 50 spider rings.

so.  this morning, i encouraged him to take some of his rings to the kids that would be at lunch.  i was thinking of the community kids...not really kids from our sunday school class.  but that works too. we talked about how we could just walk in the dollar store and get stuff.  and how they might not be able to do that.  and so how nice it was that we would give them some of our rings.

after a bit of a discussion, he agreed.  he set back 10 rings for himself.  and took about 38 to the kids.

when he got home, he told me that he was so sad because there were only 10 kids there.  and he had so many rings left over.  and he had "really wanted to give them all away".  i'm not sure if that was honest...but it made me feel good.  made me proud of him.  because it's not always easy giving stuff we love away.

also.  one of the kids there taught him a nasty word.  "butt".  as in my behind.  and the best part is that it was a kid from our church that used the word.  awesome.  i'm sure one day pratt will teach some younger kid a word much worse....

two. the family walked down to the river today.  max loves the water.  we already knew pratt did.  we rolled max's pants up and sat him on a rock.  he splashed and splashed.  just loved it.  we have to do that more often.  i cannot wait until clint can take them both fishing down there.

i'm so blessed.
