Volunteering for a Good Cause

Admittedly, we have been pretty blessed as family.  We are all healthy and happy, all things considered, we have it pretty good.   Parker and Hadley seem to have hearts of gold that mom would argue they didn't get from their father :-).  Last year we bought reusable water bottles and filled them with candy and essentials and drove around to hand them out to the homeless around Halloween. Parker was the one who had the idea, he saw homeless people around town and wanted to do something to help them out.

This year it was mom who did some investigation into doing something where we could volunteer as a family and found the Kindcraft Organization.  Last night we attended on our first volunteer opportunity where we turned recycle plastic bags (think Wal-mart and Hy-vee plastic bags) into plarn (plastic yarn) which will be used to create plastic mats that will be distributed to the homeless to sleep on this fall.  The video below gives you an idea of what we did, the end result and how they help the homeless.


The kids love arts and crafts and loved the idea of helping out those in need.  We spent an hour and half working on our plarn as a family, we all had a blast.  Here is some pictures of the process and our ball of plarn!

Seperate Saturday

We had an action packed Saturday at the Harms' house.  It started it with Dad and Parker going to hockey (Mom and Hadley bailed on us). ...
