After carefully considering options, as one of our holiday charities we chose to fund a project through Donors Choose. We discussed it with the boys and decided to help a low poverty school in our area buy a ton of science books.
As we were on the website, Jon and I asked the boys how much they wanted to individually contribute to the project. They emptied their entire wallets while saying, "Now they will get a LOT of books!"
Most days 5 year olds are (developmentally appropriate) selfish jerks but man, that one made me bust out the kleenex.

I love that you do this and that you're instilling giving in your boys at such a young age :)
Have you decided on a word for 2012 yet?
YAY!
Love!
That brings tears to MY eyes. Love it!
FUCK i love your kids. *tear*
Awesome! My husband gave me $ to spend on Donors Choose for xmas. Then sadly, no teachers in our district had projects listed, however I was able to donate to a charter school started by some acquaintances. Awesome that your boys "got it." We gave these soccer balls to other children as a gift to our children. http://www.oneworldfutbol.com/
