for the first time ever, i was able to help at the holiday shoppe! usually i just manage the scheduling of volunteers and hear about how much fun it is, but this year i get to help because the littles are both in preschool. i was more than a little excited. the items were very similar at madelyn's and mason's schools but the shopping was very different. at mason's school most of the kids need help reading, adding and shopping. at madelyn's school, the volunteers are just function as shopping carts and price-check machines.
i only wish that i could have included notes with each of the gifts relaying the reasons for the selection (like the boy who was super confident that his mom would LOVE some sophia the first stickers - there was no leading him in a different direction).
it is so nice to get to meet other parents and give some of my time to the schools. love.
