it is program supported by The Samaritan's Purse ran by Franklin Graham. This year it was especially sweet because Parker was old enough to really grasp the meaning of helping the children and the value it holds. We discussed the children and their life styles. You can imagine the surprise when daddy explained that these children have no electricity or running water inside their homes. He was shocked! We went shopping as a family and the boys selected items to fill their shoe boxes. Paxson wanted a lot of balls.....imagine that! :) Parker wanted a lot of really big things and we had to keep reminding him that it has to fit inside the shoe box. We ended up with several toys, books, play dough, floam, toothbrushes, bible character figurines, balls, and candy. On the way home Parker said "oh no we forgot clothes." I didn't understand what he was saying. He said "we forgot clothes for the kids." I am sure you can imagine what happened next. It was a great Sunday Afternoon.
