Oh my...

that was the look the cashier had on her face when I bought 24 things of toothpaste today at the dollar store! I rode my bike out to Walmart/the Dollar Store...it was a long ten miles...but SO beautiful! I decided that since today is earth day, I would celebrate by riding my bike instead of driving!

Anyways, I got a lot of toothpaste, and other things we need, but theres a lot more we still need.

What we are in "urgent" need of...(ie we dont have enough to pack more boxes!)

-Composition notebooks and smaller (full sized dont fit)
-Coloring books and crayons
-Socks, boys and girls ages 2-18
-Bars of soap
-Small stuffed animals or dolls
-Hard candy

Thank you all so much for your help-
thank you to Thom J. for fully sponsoring two boxes, and to Kimberly for her donation of items!

Update

Haven't updated in a while...sorry!
Life has been very busy lately, with 6 schoolweeks left, and preparing to go to Latvia (www.roadtolatvia.blogspot.com)

Thank you SO much to Sahia, Rick and Ray Bidwill for all the supplies you donated! I have more things to put boxes together, so that's exciting(: Although I'm "behind" on packing boxes, I have a feeling we are going to get caught up pretty soon here!
