Fundraiser Day is over

Today was our FRG's fundraiser. And I am so glad that it's over! It has been so time consuming that I've neglected my own family to finish some of the products we sold. The "Cookie in a Jar" (all the dry ingredients to make M&M cookies) and "Christmas mix" (Crispex and Cheerio cereal, m&ms, peanuts, pretzels, all cover in melted white chocolate) and "Homemade Hot Cocoa mix" were all my ideas put into motion. And it has been a rollercoaster motion too. I had a lot of help from other FRG members, but "Wow", it was some work. We had an awesome time selling products, and singing (actually, I was the only one singing) and wearing our Santa hats, and being together. It was fun. And we made some money for our organization.

These are the "Cookies in a Jar"

This is the Hot Cocoa. I didn't get a picture of the Christmas mix...

These are the Christmas trees that Shawn made out of cardboard boxes for our decorations at the fundraiser. Thank you honey.

After I got home this afternoon, it was family time! The weather was beautiful so we took advantage and spent some time outside.

This is what happens when boys have extra time and extra pieces of cardboard (left over from the Christmas trees) in their possession. This is the steep hill behind our house. It's so steep that Caleb had a very difficult time walking up it to only come right back down.

Shawn wanted a turn to try out the slide, but as he was sitting down to ride, Caleb jumped on his back and they both came down in a spiral roll.
