You, as in those who mailed Box Tops to me, rock! Seriously. The fact that you would mail them to me and the fact that you helped so much speaks wonders. I only had about 100 on-hand when I posted my plea for your help. Then, you stepped in…. I turned in about 400! I don’t know if my kiddos won, yet, for the highest turn in…we’ll see.

A special shout out and a public thank you to: Ann, Terry, Tommie, sammawow, Lynn, Connie, Melli, and Lew.

(Gosh, hope I didn’t forget anyone)

If anyone else wants to contribute – please do. I save them year long for large turn-in when school begins. Just let me know and I’ll hook you up with a mailing address. Then, you can rock, too! =)~~ *grin*

My kids started back to school this week.

Wow, my house seems so different. There is peace. Things I cleaned 30 minutes ago are still clean. There are no voices behind me “fussin’ or fighting” over minor things. Ha!

The only downside is that I now have to get out of the bed (sigh) at a specific time. I have a wonderful hubs that gets both kids up and then wakes me up. So, it isn’t all that horrible… plus, I’m only up for about 30 minutes before I may crawl back in bed!

It seems so early for school. I remember waitin’ ’til after labor day (umm, that’s my birthday, too, this year! remember, ok?).

So, those of you that have children – when does school start for you?

I’m going to enjoy the last few moment of peace for the day as they will arrive, soon. Can’t wait to see them, tho… and hear about their day. Our son is in his last year of elementary school (5th grade) and our daughter is in 1st!

Toodles.

Maybe this won’t be odd of me to ask… but do any of you have items containing box tops for education that the Box Tops go unclipped & thrown in the trash? If so, would you mail them to me? If you say yes, just comment letting me know and I’ll email you back with mailing info.

My children go to a small school (maybe 110 kids, grades K-5). Box Tops are wonderful and free. In the past five years our little school has earned $2019 from Box Tops. Last year was only $179, tho. I try to collect all summer long so when school starts in August – I have a lot to send in. Usually, the child(ren) with the most turned in gets awarded. I have saved just over 100 of them this summer.

So.. I’m asking you for help by sending me your clipped box tops! Anyone willing?? I’d love my kids to start school in August with a massive amount of Box Tops to turn in.

If you don’t know what items contain box tops – you can see a list here or view the .pdf file here.
