Weekend Project: Save the World

So, continuing Molly's recent theme of saving the world, one elephant and dolphin at a time, we had the following conversation about a week ago on the ride home from school:

MP:  "Mommy?  You know those cans you have in the basement?"

Me:  "The old formula cans?  Yes..."

MP:  "I want to take one of them and decorate it and then write on it 'Donations for Haiti.' Then I want to put it on our front table so that whenever people visit our house they can put money in it and then we'll send it to the people in Haiti who need it."

So, I figured this would be a 10 minute project...

I was wrong.

She asked me "Where's the can?" and "Can we get the can now for Haiti?" about 100 times... until I schlepped downstairs to get it.  I covered it with paper and she did the rest.  After a good 20 - 30 minutes of serious marker work, this is what she came up with:

"Mommy, see - they are wearing the coveralls." 

(How do you know the word "coveralls?") "Molly, why are they frowning?"

"Because they had the earthquake, Mommy."

This is so ridiculously sweet that all the spare change I can find, I'm donating to Molly's Fund. 

Love you, Peanut.
