BenSpark goes to a Toy Drive

BenSpark goes to a Toy Drive

I put on my “I’m Not A Famous Blogger” T-Shirt and went downtown to a Christmas Is For Kids Toy Drive that was sponsored by Achin’s Garage. My friend Sarah posted the event on Facebook and that is how I learned about it. It was definitely a great thing to see, all those toys for needy kids. I even donated a toy. I picked up a toy yesterday from Walmart that was supposed to be for Eva. However she was lucky enough to get the toy in Florida from Mimi and Grandpa Dano. Here is my video interview with Sarah, I forgot to zoom out on the video camera, that is why it was so close. I used my XShot 2.0 to take the video too.

More things are being added to BenSpark’s Big Box of Awesome!. There are many guesses and one guess that was right on the money was from Karen who stated that there was an “IZEA pop can holder” which is totally correct. The IZEA pop can holder is called a Koozy and there is certainly one in the box.

An IZEA koozy was found in BenSpark's Big Box of Awesome!

Eva is walking around the house all the time now. Sure she walks a little like the mummy but she is walking. I call her Godzilla because instead of walking around things she just blasts through them. Toys, shoes, you name it, she walks along leaving a wake of childlike destruction behind her.

Today we started getting a home delivery of milk from Munroe Dairy. This is a local dairy just over the border in Rhode Island. They deliver anything from milk to pizza ingredients. Eva is a milk drinking fiend and having a steady supply on hand is crucial so we are glad to have this service now. We are also very grateful for it and for the help making it a reality. I’ll have to get a shot of the Milk Box. It was very cool this morning going down to find our new milk box and inside a crate with 4 bottles and some yobaby yogurt form another local farm, Stonyfield. Stonyfield farms used to supply the frozen ice cream at Saint Anselm College. It was such a treat being able to go and get ice cream at the dining hall whenever you wanted some.

If you were wondering if we actually got the photos on the wall, we did and they look really nice.
