Steph's Bday.

In a big family, we have to share everything. We have 5 bathrooms for 25 people. So you can imagine how it is in the morning. Only about 2 people can be showering at a time anyways or there isn’t enough water. One of the tricks the kids do is turn the bathroom light on and close the door, with no one in it. They do this so that they can do other things, like eat breakfast, or find their clothes and towel, and the bathroom will still be free when they come back. Many people will walk by the bathroom and not even knock, thinking that someone is in it. Sometimes they lock the door, but you can undo it with your thumbnail. Even I have fallen victim to this.

Today is Stephanie's 12th? bday. She is sooo sweet. This week, it was the birthday of one of the children of a lady who does our laundry three days a week. They weren't going to throw a party for the 6 year old girl because they don't have extra money. So Stephanie took it upon herself to make her a cake and decorate it (it was BEAUTIFUL.) She got two little gifts for her and then we went and dropped them off! I hope my children turn out thoughtful of others and kind.
