What a beautiful day...

It was a gorgeous day today and I have got to let you know we had a WONDERFUL day. We enjoyed our goldfish cracker snack as a picnic this morning under the warm breezy walkway. We had a WONDERFUL time in Chapel talking about Christ's generosity and charity. And, ALSO, we seem to have taken the "Walker spirit" to the MAX as we pulled ahead in the "families helping families" leader boards. I know...I know...I am a bit (or A LOT) competitive. But come on guys...WAY TO GO! By lunch today, the school had already met our ENTIRE goal for the week. So what is a group of such kind and giving people to do? MAKE A BIGGER GOAL! As you can see reflected by the picture posted below the "little walkers that could" came out with a BIG BANG. In fact, we pretty much shocked everyone-even admittedly, myself. So, now we are only 150 more items away from our school goal...and we still have TWO WHOLE MORE days. So come on Walking Angels let's DO IT!!!

I am SO proud! You should see how happy the food pantry staff is to see the BINS of donations!

Landon, pointing at himself, pointing at the camera...does that make sense??

Also for out Jesus Celebration baskets we have had donations already pledged towards our two baskets. For our date night basket we have babysitting and movie tickets donated. And for the family night basket we have a game and snacks and the actual basket donated. Which pretty much leaves us needing restaurant gift card(s), and anything else you can think of in that category, a family movie or blockbuster gift card, maybe a pizza gift card or a special family dinner. Any ideas? Also don't forget I do not mind putting the baskets together and picking up the odds and ends. Apparently, last year, the date night basket was the high ticket item. Sounds like y'all aren't getting out as much as you would like. So if you have any specific ideas or know of something you would like to donate...please let me know and I will keep y'all updated!

Finally, for our Fall Harvest Party, I would like to thank Mrs. Kelly who has taken to time and energy to decode my preschool language and take care of getting the most of the preparations and decorations together. She has done a FABULOUS job and I cannot thank her enough.

As for the food sign up sheet it seems the only things we have left are:

Cheetos puffs, cubed or rolled lunch meat, goodie bags (don't worry- I have some great ideas of safe things to put in them), fruit, and yogurt or pudding.

Please let me know what you would like to bring, or if you would like to offer an alternative suggestion.

Have a wonderful night and see you tomorrow!
