Field Trip to Walgreens

Shopping for gummy vitamins. Most of you probably already know why. If not, you might want to take a quick look. Go on, I'll wait. :)

Last night when we got home from our getaway, we saw the pictures of the kids on our computer screen. We talked a bit about the program and the eggs and the need. Then, we found Sierra Leone on the world map. The (older) kids pulled out their allowance envelopes and decided how much they would like to give, not grudgingly or of necessity, but cheerfully (the youngest didn't have any envelopes...or money...but they ((cheerfully!)) watched.) Their combined total was $25.
Bobby and I told them we would match them dollar for dollar. They purchased 260 vitamins with their money, and I bought 260 vitamins with ours.

520 tiny pebbles.
