"Mom, there is NOTHING in the pantry.... so I was searching and way in the back I found these Premium Minis... mom they are awesome!! Why have you never told me about these?"
This week the kids and I volunteered at the Veterans Mobile Food Pantry. I didn't get any pictures because we were so busy. But we loved it. We handed out food to about 200 low income veterans. We were in charge of drinks. The kids and I would bag them and then the veterans would pull up in in their cars and we would load them into their trunk. Pascal and Owen visited the Veteran's Hospital a few weeks ago to visit with sick Veterans and they really enjoyed it. We are waiting on our paperwork to go through and then we will get "badges." We are super excited to do more volunteer work with this great organization.
After volunteering we went by Chick-fil-A and a lady offered the kids free ice-cream. We were super excited!!
Meg and I head to Yoga several times a week. WE just love it!! Our instructor is amazing!! She uses Meg as a demo all the time to model poses the rest of us can just dream about doing. Here she is showing a few of her poses off.
