FREE Hot Chocolate!

For one of our service projects this month, my kids decided to do a free hot chocolate stand.

Our street is really quiet...except at 2:20  when the High School gets out.

We had enough for 40 hot chocolates and we sold out in about 40 minutes!

Everyone that stopped came prepared to pay but they were so excited when they found out it was FREE!!

What a great day!!

 Matt took off early on to go spread the word!

Some of our favorite "customers." 

And even though it was free...they kids made a few tips!
(Thanks Grandma and Charity).

And...of course the kids had to have some hot chocolate too!!

November Service

We are on month three of "Who Can I Serve Today" Service Projects!

Here are our four new weekly projects:

#1- We made and delivered caramel apples
#2- We wrote thank you notes to people who don't normally get them (teachers, bus driver, etc).
#3- Took canned food to the food bank.
#4- Made place-mats to donate to Meals on Wheels
(I HIGHLY recommend this one...so fun and the people LOVED them!!)

September's Service

This year, we chose the family theme, "Who Can I Serve Today?"

Every night at dinner we ask the kids who they served.  

Their daily service can be small like smiling at a stranger or sharing a toy.

Once a week, we try to do a family service that is a little bigger.

I hope to report or service each month.

I am NOT doing this for a pat on the back, rather, to to help my kids remember how good it feels to serve and maybe even encourage someone else to do a little service too!

So, here is our service for the month!

We donated a DOZEN bags of clothing to a boy in our ward to help with his Eagle Project.

(More on my decluttering later)

We picked our peaches and shared with our neighbors.

We took dinner to Lindsay's primary teacher that had had surgery.

We made and donated bookmarks to the library.
