We're OVER 100! (110) :)

   We are continuing to do AOKs this summer & having LOTS of fun doing it!  We sent 2 sets of coupons to Mrs. Depew.  We also sent a BD card to my best friend Nicole.  We sent an anniversary card to Gram-Gram & Pop-Pop-they will celebrate 31 years together tomorrow!  :)  
   Finally, for "H" wk. we talked about heroes-Super heroes & real life heroes.  We decided to make cookies for our local firefighters, true real life heroes!  It was an extra special treat to get to deliver that AOK w/ our special visitor Aunt Marfi!  :)
   Current Total = 110!

Happy Rainy Independence Day! (86)

   It's been rainy, rainy, rainy here so we haven't really felt like getting OUT & doing AOKs but we've done some inside stuff.  :)
   For L wk Mady wrote some Love Letters to her Gram-Gram & Pop-Pop & her Grandma Great.  We sent some of our favorite vacation pictures to them when we sent the letters.  :)
   I was very proud of Mady several times in the last wk.  We were at the zoo & she saw trash on the ground & voluntarily picked it up.  :)  Also we rode the Incline Railway in Chattanooga last weekend & when we were getting off the train she thanked the train conductor on her own before we could prompt her to.  It made Shawn & I both proud.  :)  It may sound silly but it lets me know that our lessons are starting to sink in with her & that she is starting to think outside of herself and that makes this mamma's heart very happy!  :)
   I sent two sympathy cards to different coworkers (former & current) that have recently lost loved ones.  :(   I also got to send some more coupons to Mrs. Depew.  Finally, we had the opportunity to pass on a coupon at Hobby Lobby when what we were purchasing was already 50%-you should NEVER let a good coupon go to waste!  :)
   We're a little behind (in everything) this rain is extremely UNMOTIVATING!  :P  I'm hoping the weather will clear up a bit & we'll get back on track!  :)
   I did put this years AOK scrapbook pages together today & I was very pleased to look back over what we did this year & to see that we increased our AOK total from our 1st year by over 400!  I can't wait to see what we'll be able to accomplish next year!  :)
Current Total = 86
