chocolate chip cookies & a brown paper bag

They wanted cookies. I wanted cookies. We made cookies. Good times.

He sat down and said, “Ahh…warm sun.”

Yep, warm sun and chocolate chip cookie dough. He’s his mother’s son. (Um, yes, I haven’t cleaned that door since the last SnapShop)

They were getting impatient waiting for the cookies to bake. Little did they know that was my plan. As they talked about how hungry they were for cookies, I began to talk to them about others that are really hungry. My kids don’t know true hunger. Many kids do. We talked about what it must be like to never have chocolate chip cookies…or cheerios…or lunch.

Then the cookies were done. As we ate them, we talked about how the mailman is coming this weekend to collect food for people that don’t have any.

The last bites were gone and we filled a bag to set out by the mailbox.

Tomorrow the US Postal Service will be collecting can goods and non-perishable food items for local food pantries.

*Big Brother knows I write something called a blog and that I share stories on the computer. I told him we were going to take some pictures of our bag early for the blog and then put the bag out for real on Saturday morning. I know some of you were wondering about that!
