C'est Fini!

So our Grant is an Eagle Scout! He did it! Let's just say it presented its challenges, but he persevered and got it done. I kept thinking of this Beastie Boys song: "Because you can't and you won't and you don't stop!" So inspirational, I know...hahaha! I'm so the type of person that can think of a song for every situation. It was Beastie Boys for this life event.
Cute girls to promote the event: check
Awesome sign accompanied with awesome pose: check

Leaders that help along the way: check


Muscles: check


8 AM: Ready to get the party started.








I must say Anna and Leah worked it! They were waving and yelling "FOOD DRIVE" to all who drove/walked by. They also drummed up a lot of business with their adorable-ness.





Papa and Leah


Mom: Working Hard or Hardly Working? You be the judge.


May and Nate. Love that he has one glove on. It was too hot to have two gloves on.


Grant was able to collect over 2,000 pounds of food!





Proof that I was actually there.

I didn't know you were a Beasties fan, Ali! They were my hands-down favorite all through Jr High & High School (heck, I still love them - just haven't followed any of their new stuff since the yellow can of sardines album - can't even think of what it's called anymore!! LOL). Good times.

Nice work on collecting so much food, Grant! I'm glad it was a success for you & everyone that benefits from it. Enjoy the warm fuzzies. :o)

How fun! I'm suprised James got in on the action. It helps when you have adorable helpers though. Where's the picture of Raychie's sign? I think that was the best one by far. And I love the pic of mom. I'm going to go with harldy working on that one. Of course she was probally texting me, so thats excuseable. So proud of Grant man!

Way to go Grant! Such a big accomplishment! I know he must be so glad to have it all behind him. I love all the coordinating outfits. You must have been behind that Ali. ;o)

I had to laugh about the Beastie Boys theme song. Love all your music with the posts. Makes them so much more fun.
