Hubby's job ended in September. He is supposed to start a new on this month but our financial situation is a bit strapped at the moment. The twins classes are going on a trip to a Pumpkin Patch and the cost was $12 each. That might not seem like a lot but no paycheck for going on 3 weeks now, has hurt us. One of the teachers called me this morning because the money was due today. I told her the situation and she assured me that it did not matter. They have extra funds for both of the twins. A couple of families sponsored other kids in the classrooms. I am so glad they are going and I cannot wait to pay this good fortune forward!

That does seen like a lot of money for a child's trip. I'm glad someone helped you and also like the idea of passing it forward. I hope they had a great time!

The ten dollars covered the entrance to the farm, a pumpkin and I guess gas for the bus. The farm gave a discount for all of the kids and any adults that went with them. Normally, admission is ten per person, regardless of age.

@PainsOnSlate That would be nice but nothing is free any longer.

@Shellyann36 I still think school children should get in free.

@rebelann I was so happy, I cried on the phone with her. He has a job interview today at 2 and the place is just down the road. It would be nice if he landed a job with them that he likes. The other place where he was supposed to have started at is taking their sweet time and we don't have the luxury of time.

I hope he gets the job @Shellyann36 maybe the other company wouldn't have been worth his time.

@sallypup when one is on a very strict budget or behind in bills it is quite a bit. I am so happy that they will be able to go.

@Shellyann36 I agree. I remember when my daughter was young. We counted pennies so that we'd have enough gas in the car to get some where.

I do know sometimes our school has extra funds for children whose parents cannot afford things. Like if they raise a lot doing fundraising the extra can be helpful for kids who didnt sell much. I am glad your twins will not have to miss out on the fun.

@shaggin I am so glad as well. I know they will have such fun. We went to the same place a couple of years ago and they loved it.

What a very smart teacher and parents you have, this is the way it should be and when things turn you will pay it forward.

I'm so glad your twins got to go, it would have been awful for them to have had to stay back. I love that you plan on paying it forward good for you. This world needs more like you.
