I don't want to rub it in- but it's a beautiful day here and it kills me that my kids are inside. So I made a list of things we need done in our house and sent the boys on a Service Scavenger Hunt. (They divided themselves into teams and headed out the door. ) I told them to knock on doors and go do some service! (secretly hoping they would do a few chores around our house too.) After an hour and a half- they came back for the prize.

A plate of chocolate chip cookies. I'm making cookies for tonight anyway.
It was fun- seeing them run around the neighborhood and then see the signatures on their point sheets. Merry Christmas neighbors!

I want to live in your neighborhood!!! What a great idea. Merry Christmas, we love you and miss you guys so much!
Love this idea! I have a small child who would love to have a book read to him (and I have a basket of laundry that would love to be folded)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
That was the best idea ever! You are such a gem. Thank you so much. My boys had such a great time.
They did a great job on our car and actually had a fun time. Good idea and thanks.
