Life of Something Like It!

Father's Day Fun

  For Father's Day we let good ole Dad sleep in!  I mean what could be a better present than that!  We also offered breakfast in bed, but he declined and opted for cereal of all things.  Anyway, we went to church and offered Dad an afternoon nap, again he declined so mommy got one...Happy Father's Day to me I guess :)  We then gave him gifts of the herb scissors he's been wanting, a fridge pack of rootbeer, and the kids picked out Airheads and Gummy Worms for him.  That night we celebrated with some of Dad's favorites, Potato Pizza and Cheesecake for dessert.  The best part of Father's Day were the fill-in-the-blank "all about Dad" and Grandpa sheets they filled out.  Too funny to hear what they had to say about some of the special guys in their life.  Ha!

 Random Acts of Kindness

  This week for Family Home Evening we talked all about kindness.  We even shared some Bible stories of different acts of kindness.  We then let the kids go about doing random acts of kindness for people they chose, each with a note saying something like "Please Enjoy this Random Act of Kindness".  Here's what they did

1.  Mailed stickers to their cousin Gavin

2.  Mailed stickers to their cousin Keaton

3.  Left Salted Caramel Chocolate Hazelnut spread for our Mail Lady

4.  Left Stickers in mailbox of their friends Graham & Clara

5.  Left Stickers in mailbox of their friends Henry and Molly

6.  Left Chocolate candy on the doorstep of Miss Ashley

7.  Left Toilet Paper on the doorstep of the Miss Lorrie

8.  Gave Coloring packs to their friends Colton & Rowan

9.  Left formula on the doorstep of their friend "Baby Josh"

10.  Left $1.50 in quarters taped to the soda machine at our local Walmart

It was a lot of fun driving around trying to be "sneaky", although most locations we were totally busted on delivery :).  The kids had a great time trying to make others happy as they said.  This is something we'll definitely be doing more often.
