Pay it Forward

What a wonderful day. We had a play date today with our friends Julie & her son Garner. They came over, the boys played & then we enjoyed lunch together. We made pizza out of the flat breads (the deli flats). Kind of like the english muffin pizza's only better (at least in my opinion). It is so much fun because you can make them all different. I will tell you that our favorite today was with cheese, spinach & bacon. Oh my goodness, it was DELISH! Such a great lunch, dinner, party idea, kid friendly, whatever you want it to be meal. I am even thinking breakfast pizza's would be yummy made with them. Ooohhhh...may have to do that sometime! Anyhow, after lunch the kids played a little more & watched a little Land Before Time. Such a nice time spent together. I know that Eli & I had a blast!

I love the movie Pay it Forward. If you haven't seen the movie, it is a MUST see. I also enjoy surprising people by paying for something for them. (as in a previous blog). Dan & I have had it happen to us several times & we were so thankful & enjoyed it. We have now taken it as a fun thing to do & hope to teach Eli how fun it is. So...I just saw on Facebook a Pay it Forward page. Apparently there is a national day in April, but they are also encouraging people to do it tomorrow December 1st. So, I am encouraging you to do that. Pay it Forward tomorrow (or any day for that matter). It doesn't have to be a lot. Here are some ideas from the page:
Pay It Forward Day December 1st, 2010 ‘Tis the Season! A random act of kindness goes a long way so…PAY IT FORWARD!!! What can you do? ON DEC. 1st...
• Pay for someone’s cup of coffee…
• Buy someone some groceries…
• Get the next person’s gas…
• Help someone out…
• Donate something…
• Be creative!!!
When you do something for someone there’s a good chance they’ll do something for someone else. If not, at least you’ve done a good deed for someone. So on December 1st share some kindness and spread some joy! It can be as little as a few dollars or as much as you want. No one needs to know! I would love to hear your experience if you would like to share it! Join in with me for this!!!

Scoot was on the curtain rod today above a window. It really has been such a neat thing watching Elijah each morning find him. Today he continues to talk to him. So neat! If you haven't noticed by now...we really are having a blast with this!

Well, Eli & I are off to the Library to return his books & check out some new ones. Love my little man! The best part is...he just told me..."Mommy, I love you & Daddy, ALL the time!" Oh what a blessing!
