On November 1, Dada's office held it's 1st Annual Halloween Candy Buyback. Children could bring their excess Halloween Candy to the office and we gave them $1 per pound of candy. Then, we shipped the candy to Operation Shoebox in Ocala for distribution with care packages to soldiers in war. Lauren showed up in her Halloween costume. We have gotten lots of use out of this costume: she has worn it 5 times!
Grandma and Ethan came to donate candy and hang out for a little while.

Miss Heather stayed for a little while until we got everything up and going.
Ethan with his $5!
Kids could also write a Thank You Note, draw a picture or color for our troops. We sent all of these along with the candy.

We collected 255 pounds of candy and look forward to doing it again next year! Afterwards, we went to Chick Fila with Miss Jenny, Miss Britney, Grandma and Ethan. Lauren LOVES being with Ethan.
Dada saw this cute little pink chair at Sam's and thought LEB really needed it. And you can't have a cute little chair without a TV to play the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD's on, right? Oh.My.Goodness...Dada is wrapped!
