I just had a former dcm and her 2 kids stop by tonight; she had called ahead and told me they were having a yard sale and if I wanted to stop by I could pick out whatever stuff I wanted for free. As luck would have it, my plans didn't include going to yard sales today.
But she and the kids stopped in and offered me tons of stuff they had left over. Great stuff.
Which was nice in itself. BUT it was truly great seeing these 2 kids. OMG I usually only see them on Halloween now
. They're 9 and 13 and omigosh, just since Oct. they have changed so much. The 9 yo boy pipes up and said you were more than a babysitter, and mom finishes and says yes, you're family.
I still remember the group I had when they came to my dc and I loved that group. But these 2 particular kids I always held in a special place in my heart.
Ok, I'm done going on and on.
And on.
But most kiddos?? Uh uh
