We are seasoned.
We are tired and sore and were filthy.
We worked hard.
Oldest has his own methods.
He found a bag of baby shoes amidst all that food. This discovery made him very sad. We quickly distracted him with workworkwork.
I hadn't seen a can like this in a long time!
Since 1996, I guess. No good. Expired items (14 year-old expired items) cannot be donated!
Middle's favorite food of the evening. He likes pictures of moose(es).
We worked with a lovely quiet lady who packed along with us (we pack fast!) and was shy about asking the boys to help her lift bins.
It's the hardest work we do as a family.
We packed more than a dozen skids.
Each skid holds 24 bins.
We went for ice cream on the way home at 10:30 - flush with pride.

My Dad taught me that the plural of moose was meeses.
I am a bit confused about the bag of baby shoes. Why did this make him sad? Weren't they being donated? And wouldn't that be a good thing? Sorry, maybe I'm slow :P
And thank GOD you noticed it.
It's so nice that you and the boys engage in this heavy duty job each year. Together for others.
I'd be proud too.

It's always nice to here about Oldest. I wonder if his immediate sadness underscores something he's worried about. Unfortunately, needy people often have wee ones too.
I think the world of you and the boys for doing this. See, you ARE great role models!
