Well, the boys haven't even been in 5th grade for more than two weeks yet, and already, the thing I dreaded the most came up.....5th GRADE CAMP!!!!!! I know , I know, maybe Im too protective and have issues letting go and accepting that they really are growing up! They have not ever been away from us for three LONG nights (okay maybe LONG for me), and frankly Im having anxiety over the whole thing! However, the school is doing two fundraisers to help out with the cost of camp! (they do not offer a twin discount unfortunantly) The first fundraiser started last Friday, and the boys are selling the worlds finest chocolate bars for 1$ each! For every box of 40 bars they sell, they will recieve 20 dollars off the cost of camp! With having two of them, and it being in December, every bit we can discount will help! Im so proud that the boys have sold two boxes each so far! I think we have some future salesman's on our hands!!!! Grandpa Richard took them on Friday around our nieghborhood, and they finished off a box each! We took them out tonight for a bit, and we finished off another box each! So far it has been a success!!!!They are having a lot of fun selling them, and even Emily has been quite helpful with knocking on some doors for them....(she is just probably excited at the thought of getting rid of them for a few days!!!)Anyhow, I will be praying for myself that over the next few months, I grow fonder of the idea of camp, and of letting go....but just a little bit!!!!!!
