Water, Water Everywhere & LOTS of drops to drink! ;)

Yesterday my Mom, Mady & I delivered 20 bottles of water to people who were working outside.  We gave water to construction workers, mowers, sign holders & vegetable stand   owners.  :)  The vegetable stand owners gave Mady 2 tomatoes & 4 peaches.  :)
It was a fun day with my girlies! :)
Summer Total = 45

Acts of Kindness = 25! :)

   We recently redid Mady's room & her Auntie Nicole watched her for 12 hrs, what an awesome auntie!  :)  We are hoping she'll let us repay the favor next wk!  :) Mady's new room is a princess fairy room.  She wanted to get her very own set of fairy wings so we went to Target to pick up a pair we had seen at the Dollar Spot.  Alas, we couldn't find any & Mady was SOOO disappointed.  As we were walking away a lady found us & asked us if the wings she had found were the ones we were looking for-they WERE!  What a sweet Act of Kindness that made my beautiful girl SO HAPPY!  :)
   We have donated 2 pairs of glasses to the Lion's Club for other people to use in the last couple of weeks.  :)  We helped out a friend by keeping her daughter when she had to work.  The girls had a GREAT day together!  :)
   My Mom's church has been doing a Wednesday night Acts of Kindness project called "I Go" where they "go" out into the community & do Acts of Kindness.  (It's right up our alley!)  My Mom helped paint the classroom of one of her friends last week.  Her church also had the idea to do a prayer walk for schools for the upcoming school year.  Sooo...we decided to get one together for our school.  It was pouring down rain so only two people showed up but that's ok b/c God knows where our hearts were & lots of people were praying from the place where they were that day!  :)
   We also sent a BD & Congratulations card to a friend that got a new job this wk.
   Tomorrow we're hoping to deliver cold waters to those working out in the heat.  We have family coming in from Wyoming this wk & we hope there will be some opportunities to share our Acts of Kindness project with them!  :)
Summer Total = 25!  :)

Going Crazy With Acts of Kindness! :)

This wk was a GREAT one for Acts of Kindness!  Mady had an idea to do some paintings for an assisted living center that she & my mother have visited a few times & that my class has created art for (Morning Pointe).  Well, when I called to ask how many pics she needed to paint-the Activities Director said what would be even better would be for Mady to actually come to the center to paint WITH the residents.  So...we set it up & last Friday Mady went to paint.  She felt right @ home since she had been there a few times already.  She told everyone she met, "I'm Madylyn.  I'm 3.  I poop in the potty."  (Have I mentioned that I LOVE that kid?)  ;)  It was very fun, the residents were a little  reluctant to join in but finally a few ladies painted with Mady & made some great pictures.  I think Mady enjoyed herself & really enjoyed visiting with the residents & I think they enjoyed visiting with her as well.  They asked her to come back again so my Mom & I are already trying to think of things that Mady could do with them-like letting them read to Mady etc. (If you have any good ideas, please pass them along our way!)  Mady ESPECIALLY enjoyed the yummy lemonade they gave her at the end.  :)
Mady also did some art for a 50th Wedding Anniversary card we sent to some of NaNa's friends from church.  She did one more art piece to put in a Get Well card for a coworker of mine-we also got a restaurant giftcard for her so she hopefully doesn't overdo while she's supposed to be recovering.  :)
The day Mady visited the assisted living center was a day FULL of Acts of Kindness-it was one of those EXTREMELY hot days we've been having recently.  My Mom took a family that was walking to Wal-Mart in the heat for a ride so they didn't have to walk all that way in the heat.  Next, she drove me around to do errands while I had my oil changed.  Then...I drove my Mom around while SHE had her car worked on-definitely a day of Acts of Kindness!  :)

We've got some good ideas coming up-we want to take some bottled ice water to people that work outside & my Mom is working on getting us a list of 80 & 90 yrs. old @ her church that will have BD's throughout the yr so my students can send them cards.  :)  If it ever cools off we plan to collect trash on our road one day as well.  Plus we have some BD's coming up so I have some special stuff in mind!  ;)
