We did things a little differently for OCC this year...the church still needed a bunch of stuff so we met some of our friends at the Dollar Store and had a shopping spree. Ms E put all the items needed on slips of paper, we paired up the kids, and then they ran around finding the things on their papers.
Once they left we did the shopping for our own boxes and took it home to be sorted and packed. Bug had her eyes dilated right before we went so she was still wearing the glasses.
Bug, Daddy, and I all went for the 10-14 boy's box this year.
Boo and Peaches did a 5-9 girl, and Peanut did a 2-4 boy.
Lou did a 2-4 girl with lots of help. :)
We are getting better at packing boxes. We can now shop and pack in one night and still be in bed on time. :P
We prayed for our boxes, and packed up the leftovers for the church packing party.
The girls convinced me to stop and get donuts on the way to the party. :P
They love packing these boxes so much!
The big girls were at their retreat and were bummed to miss it. We had a good turnout though and packed tons of boxes!
Between this party and the VBS boxes the kids packed we ended up with 158 boxes this year! That's 158 more kids who will be blessed to learn about Jesus!
