25 Days of Kindess- Week 4

Welcome back for the last week of 25 Days of Kindness.  I am running a bit behind today.  This time of the year always seems to go that way anyway.

Highlights from last week:  
~ I sent hubby and one of his friends out for a guys night out.  I think they had fun and hubby got to eat some food that I am allergic to.

~ The kids particpated in the church's March to the Manager on Sunday.  Pumpkin was a shepherd and Princess was an angel.

~The kids had a camp-out in the sunroom last night to celebrate Pumpkin getting five green lights in a row at school.  Yay!  He is seeming to be doing much better since we are offering daily incentives.  I put a sticky note in his daily folder and the teacher's aide reminds him about the fun thing he gets to do if he remembers to be kind, respectful, and listen.  In the last few weeks, we have played Candyland, ate ice cream after supper, had a movie night, looked at Christmas lights, made ornaments, built a gingerbread house, just to name a few. 

~ We said "I love you" a lot!

How did your week go?  Are you ready for some more ideas?

25 Days of Kindness, Day 22- Give someone a hug . . . .
        - Hugs are the most basic act of kindness 
        - Hugs can say "I love you."  They can say "I care about you."  They can say "You are important."
        - Give someone a hug today

25 Days of Kindness, Day 23- Be kind to the Earth. . . .
        - With the hustle and bustle, don't forget to recycle
        - Where we live, we can recycle our wrapping paper and tissue paper
        - Most larger stores will recycle your shopping bags for you, ask the clerk if your store participates
        - The easiest way to recycle is to re-use and re-purpose, turn an empty jar into a storage container

25 Days of Kindness, Day 24- Be kind to others. . . . 
        - Christmas Eve can be really stressful, remember to be kind to those around you
        - Be a kind on the roadways
        - Be kind in the stores
        - Be kind to your family  
        - Here is a page from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood to help:
                       "If you are feeling mad and you want to roar!
                        Just take a deep breath and count to four!
                         One . . . . Two . . . . Three . . . . Four"

25 Days of Kindness, Day 25- Let someone go first. . . .
         - The spirit of Christmas is based on giving, so let someone go first
         - Let someone open a present first
         - Let someone fill their plate first
         - What would be another way to let someone go first?  

Congratulations for participating in 25 Days of Kindness . . . .
