December 13th

We are done bright and early today with our Random Acts of Kindness Advent.  We had to be on our game with this one.

Our trash man comes pretty early in the morning, so we had to be up, gift ready and waiting for him.

I love Hobby Lobby’s selection of holiday tins and I always buy them when they are 50% off.  In fact, I never buy anything at Hobby Lobby unless I have a coupon and it seems like everything is discounted eventually anyways.

I also picked up a Starbucks gift card.  I figure most every adult likes coffee.  And we added a few homemade goodies for him to snack on.

The kids staked out in the window.  We waited and waited and waited.

Maybe we have too much time on our hands 🙂

Harper had gotten herself and me all nervous.  She said, “But mom what if he doesn’t see it and dumps it in his truck?”  Hmmm, this had never occurred to me, so we waited and watched and finally were relieved.  Harper tends to stress herself out about things like this.  She was even more relieved that I was.

And tomorrow we will be…

delivering cookies to our fire and police stations.  We’ve got our cookie mixes and Christmas tins ready to go.  Now we have to bake.

And our 12 Months Waiting Art Giveaway ended last night.  The winner is…

comment #436 Crystal.  Super congrats Crystal and check your email from a message from me.

Thanks so everyone who entered, all the crazy kind comments and all the oh, so coveted prayers.  Really and truly, cannot say THANK YOU enough!

And how about we end with Huddy’s Current Top 2 Hiding Places:

#1

#2

Did you see him?  I really kind of like him…like a lot!

And can you tell where I keep all our unwrapped Christmas presents?  I really need a new place other than our closet.

See you tomorrow.

PS:  13 Months Waiting Art Giveaway will begin this Thursday.  Stoked.

  1. Your little Huddy is so stinkin’ cute! Love seeing his little feet sticking out! 😀 lol! He looks like he’s planking in your closet! ;D

    We missed Huddy at school today, especially his buds, JJ and Weston. I hope he is feeling better.

  3. I love this! Reminds me of my 5 year old niece waiting for our trashman to come. As soon as she hears the truck she runs to the front door and opens it. She yells from the porch, “hello!” And waves frantically. He always waves and says hi back. Then she thanks him for taking our trash and tells him bye. He says you’re welcome and good-bye and goes on his way. I like to think she is a bright spot in his day! 🙂
