Collecting things with the kids.
Something that me and the kids to together is collecting things. We save tabs to donate to non-profit organizations, we collect shells and buttons. We save their best artwork and hang it for everyone to see. When the kids are young they like to pick up little rocks and give them away. Sometimes this is all that they can give. I save them and make little rock gardens so that when they are older and I am alone, I will have all their little memories to see when I don't have them around. We collect all the pennies that we find on the ground. A friend of mine once told me that she collected them because they were pennies sent from heaven. So when we find them, they are little reminders from our loved ones that have passed, letting us know that they aren't far. This collecting stuff passes time and after enough time, you slowly collect enough. What do you collect?
