Are you ready for this?

We are back ON!  Summer of Service 2 is set to start in less than two weeks.  And I. Cannot. Wait.  As soon as I started researching and planning I got the bug again and I thought, why don't I do this ALL the time.  I should!  But for now, we'll plan our awesome summer of giving, helping, working, serving and getting outside of ourselves.
It's interesting because tonight I had a little lesson with my kids about being good citizens and in the end we talked about helping others and I tried to get them pumped about our Summer of Service and my oldest commented that he wasn't sure if he wanted to do it because it was kind of sad.  So we had a good discussion about why we do service and how it benefits others, but also how it can benefit us by helping us to be grateful for what we have and can do.  And we went back to being a good citizen, and how it is our responsibility to be kind, be giving and help others - and if everyone did that, how great would this world be!  They're excited and some day they'll thank me for it.

But anyway, here's a teaser of what we've got planned...
