Reward Day!

After all his hard work this summer, I rewarded Austin with a new Lego set!

This project has been so much fun that we are already thinking of other things we can do to help others. I have seen a big change in Austin and am proud of how he is starting to help others without being prompted. He even made my bed for me the other day! :)

Letter to a soldier

Austin wrote a letter to my friend's nephew who is serving in the Navy.

Ice Cream

Austin invited Maddox and Peyton to go get ice cream at Chick-fil-A. (Maddox decided not to come). Austin was a gentleman and held the door and got us napkins and spoons. :)

Church clean up day!

Legos!

Austin invited Maddox over for a Lego playdate today! They had loads of fun! :)

Other acts of kindness

Some other things Austin crossed off his list this summer are:

*carried in groceries (3 times)
*held the door for a stranger (3 times)
*gave Gak flowers
*wrote a thank you note to the children's director at church after VBS
*put towels away
*cleared my plate from the table
*swept the kitchen
*fed the ducks
*cleaned up trash at the park
*wrote a letter to his grandparents
*donated school supplies to Windy Hill Elementary (one of our church's missions)
*did 3 chores for Gak

Washing Mimi's car

This was a fun and WET project! :)

Beach clean up

Mr. Trashman! :)

Austin and I went on a walk to pick up trash in our neighborhood.

Austin drew a picture and wrote a letter to President Obama. (FYI...I voted for McCain...I am just trying to teach Austin respect for the office of President) :)

Cookies for Peeps

Austin helped me bake cookies for Peeps last week. :)

Donating to the Humane Society

This project was really fun! We dropped off some items from the HS website and then walked around and got to see all the cats and dogs. :)

Surprising Mimi with lunch at work!

Austin's Summer Project :)

I thought it would be a great learning opportunity for Austin to do a summer project. He is working on sharing God's love with others so I came up with 30 random acts of kindness. Some of you might even reap the benefits of this project! :) One of the girls I work with suggested I blog about it so here goes. :)
