I just have to tell you a story about the sweetest thing my daughter did and said. So when I came home from work yesterday I get bombarded at the door with an excited 8 year old. She is talking a mile a minute and I can barely understand what she is saying. So when I finally understand what she is trying to say I start welling up with tears (maybe due to these pregnancy hormones!!)
So she tells me, "we have a fundraiser at school to sell cookie dough. And if I sell 100 tubs I can win a portable dvd player or $100 cash." So I figure she is going to go for the cash and is going to buy lots of My little ponies or something like that. But she goes on to tell me,"So I really want to get the $100 so that I can give it to Aunt Jenny's organization Heroes for children." Of course I told her how nice that was and very thoughtful too. We then went on to call "Aunt Jenny" and tell her the girl's plan. Of course "Aunt Jenny" teared up as well. It just amazes me that she came up with this on her own with out any prompting or suggestions. It was all her own idea, and what a selfless act it is!! I am so proud of her!
So if you want to buy some frozen cookie dough ($13)please let me know!! I have already told her as well, that if she doesn't reach 100 we will give her a dollar per container to donate. And if you are interested in c=donating directly to the organization you can find them here.

Frozen cookie dough won't transport well back to Austin, but we'll "buy" one from her and you guys can keep the dough...I'm thinking pregnancy with twins will lend itself to lots of snacks. :)
