Acts of Service and Kindness- Week 6

Week 6- Taking cookies to nurses, passing out balloons to kids at the library, leaving lollipops at the playground, and picking up trash at the park!

Austin & I made cookies and took them to the hospital to thank the nurses caring for Aunt Shanna, Adelaide, and Annie


Ready to pass out balloons.. yeah, not sure about that pose he's striking.


Only a few left!  He loved asking the kids if they would like one and then saying "hold on tight so it doesn't fly away!"

We ran into a friend at the library too!

A little treat for someone playing at the playground

Austin thought it was fun to put them around for kids to find

Picking up trash at the park

Love him to pieces!!

Acts of Kindness and Service- Week 3

Week 3- Sidewalk Chalk Love

Writing sweet messages to friends on their driveways.  He drew some of the pics, but I did all the words (we had to hurry so nobody would see us!)


A few friends were out of town, so we will have to go make another trip later this summer!

It was HOT, so we stopped for Sonic slushes between houses

Left some small gifts for his friends too!  His favorite part was knocking on the door and then running to the car (so we could drive away before they saw us!)

You are rock stars!

Addy & Ava's mom sent us a pic of her surprised little girls.... granted Austin will probably ruin the surprise by tell Addy it was us!  Oh well.

Acts of Kindness and Service- Week 2

Week 2-  We made cookies for our mail woman & librarians, as well as notes to hide in library books for others to find.

Making cookies

Packaged up and ready to deliver


Examples of notes to surprise future readers

Picking books

Hiding the notes (Austin's favorite part)

Running out to the mail woman- she was shocked.  Honestly she thought we were kidding & it took her a few minutes to speak.

My favorite part of this week- the next day we received a hand delivered thank you note to our door from the mail woman.  Glad to have made Gloria's day!
