An Extra Day!

It's an election year, do you know what that means? It's Leap Year! An extra day has been given to us so let's do something special with it. 

It's a special gift, even though it's a Monday this year. Let's do something special with the day. Here are some ideas for how to spend our extra day, February 29! 

1. Fold clothes for a foster family. 
2. Donate $29 (for the 29th) to your local pregnancy resource center. 
3. Volunteer at a local elementary school. 
4. Pay for the car behind you in the drive-thru line. 
5. Take a dessert to your local Fire Department. 
6. Write letters to soldiers overseas. 
7. Volunteer at an animal shelter
8. Pick up trash at a park. 
9. Leave quarters on washing machines at a laundromat. 
10. Donate $29 to your church's missionary orginazation (IMB, NAMB)
11. Provide dinner for a foster family. 
12. Leave an extra tip for your waiter/waitress at lunch/dinner. 
13. Have a special dinner just for your family, no electronics allowed.  
14. Send your child's teacher, counselor, principal, school secretary a note & gift. 
15. If you know someone that has a birthday on the 29th, take them a cake, a balloon, or a gift! It's a       once-every-29 years-day. 
16. Take a sweet treat to the police department. 
17. Invite a neighbor over for dinner. 
18. Stick a $5 bill and a nice note in a Redbox movie you're returning.

22. Visit an elderly person that doesn't have family nearby. 
24. Send a giftcard to your pastor.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
