Week 1- Gratitude Week: Serving Those Who Serve Us



Gratitude Week
Week one was a kicked off with saying thank you to those who serve us.  We started with the trash men.  The Carters were up early and actually saw the surprised look on thier trash man's face when he saw the sign, cookies and gator aid for he and his partner.  Owen said "This is Fun."  The Wuerch family was not so sucessful.  We got everything set up and made sure nothing would blow away with duck tape.  It was such a windy day and the trash man doesn't come to our place until the afternoon.  When we got home from school it was more than obvious that that he hadn't seen it.  It was dispointing for the kids and us.  Luckily we had the fire department to go to after school.


The firemen and firewoman were awesome!  They were so excited and gracious about it that it made the day for all of us.  They even offered to give us a tour.  Allison said "I love this."     The postman/woman was positive and easy to do.  We just made a little thank you that we  attached a treat to and put into the mailbox for them.

Last we went to the police department.  Luckly we knew a police officer otherwise you aren't supose to take stuff to them.  We dropped off more gateraid and water.  There was no interaction other than the receptionist at the window.
