The post wherein I (shamelessly) brag upon my kids

Ella brought this home from school the other day...



Make's a Dutchman proud! All the other kids drew pictures of themselves blowing it on chocolate, or a new bike, or flowers for their mom. Our kid would save it! Such responsible behavior at such a young age.

Then she followed up with this...

Ella is the cute cowgirl to the right...
