So I need to write about this in my "Blog Journal" so I will remember what my boys did for me last night.
I was in very unhappy mood last night getting dinner ready. So when Ammon said, "you never give me quarters for helping you anymore," I kindof SNAPPED. I said(okay, kindof yelled), "well I NEVER get payed to do anything around hear.......I don't get payed to wash your clothes, wash the dishes, clean the floors, or cook you food!!!" I went on to remind him he has to help out with certain things just because he is a member of our family and he can't always get a quarter for every little thing he helps out with. Well that was the end of that, and he went away and pouted a little. Well then after awhile, I was sitting at the counter and up comes Ammon and Nathan. "Mom", Ammon said. I said, "What?" Then Ammon looks at Nathan and silently counts with his fingers to Nathan 1, 2, 3.....And then they both simultaneously hold out two shiny quarters from their piggy banks to give to me and said, "Thank you for making dinner for us mom!" Right then and there my heart leaped and I almost started crying. I gave them both big hugs. That really got me out of my MOOD and I could no longer be mad. It is amazing how quick to forgive children are and also quick to learn, understand(in their own way) and love. Thank you boys for making my day, I will never forget your little display of love. I love you!!

That seriously gave me the chills, and made me almost cry. So funny how we get so caught up in things and get so upset, that we end up treating our little ones as if they were adults. For them to have the understanding of doing that is amazing. You have great kids, and you are a great mom. but one question ( does this mean I have to pay you and matt a quarter for cooking us a meal a few months ago) lol jk. Love the blog, it melts your heart.
So I teared up a little! How sweet! What are you going to do with all that money you hearned??
