Sweet acts of Charity, and I've been tagged

I have to say that my girls are pretty awesome. This morning went more smoothly than some (this means everyone was wearing clean clothes, got breakfast and actually got their hair fixed and prayers said before they ran out the door.) Anyways - with 8 minutes to spare (miracle - negative 2 is our norm) they trekked to school. My youngest had her backpack full of Gogurts which she got to take today for her turn at the snack. Her pack was so heavy for her along with her library books and lunch. As I spied out the window (as I do every morning) I watched them run across the street holding hands (cause the older was watching out for the younger - not always so common) and then, I saw them pause and then stop. My oldest took her backpack off, and she took her sister's and put it on herself so that she could help her sister with the weight. It seems to be rare that I see such acts of selflessness and I treasure seeing it this morning. I've got some great girls and am so grateful for them!

Finally, onto another matter - my sister tagged me...wanting me to share some of my ubiquitous quirks. Unfortunately - I am not aware that I have any of those, and so thus, I have been stalling. Truly, in 4 days I haven't been able to think of a one.
Therefore, my dear reader - if you would like to participate in this tagging - please feel free - you are invited to comment and if YOU can POSSIBLY find anything to comment on (regarding a quirk that I MAY or MAY NOT have, please feel free to share.) I thank you beforehand, my loyal reader for your participation - I'm supposed to come up with 6 - fire away! If you aren't able to come up with any - that's okay too - I understand! :)

What a wonderfully compassionate girl Carlie! Too bad you didn't catch that on video.
Oh how's this for a Marequirk..... Don't you love to use you flattering ways to get freebies or to jew down the salesperson? You could give lessons (:

I can't believe my mother said that... there's some unconditional love right there! I must have learned everything I know from my mother!

I think this counts as a quirk... Aunt Carolyn said that you hate having split ends. You would sit looking at the ends of your hair, and break the split ends off... I think that counts.
