This past month, Patrick and Finnegan have been working hard to raise money for great causes.
First, they had a hunt for Pennies for the Playground. Their goal was to collect as many pennies, bring them to school and be the class with the most pennies at the end of the week. We got our whole neighborhood involved in the hunt. Johanna gave them all the pennies from her house, Chris cleared out all the change from his car and then Doug arrived on our doorstep....
that's right - he emptied his giant container on our front door and patiently sat with Patrick and Finnegan and helped them to sort out all the pennies.
A family afternoon at the greenway became another penny hunt,
as pennies "miraculously" appeared on our path!

I'm proud to say that the class raised a lot of money for the school playground and even earned the kids a special ice cream party to celebrate their accomplishments.
Yesterday, Weltz and Kilcoyne Kids got together for a St. Jude's Trike-a-Thon. The kids biked almost 2 miles on the Greenway for the great cause.
They pedaled so far that they reached the end of the greenway...
and stopped to do some chalk artwork...
before pedaling back.
Sully had so much fun with the big kids, as soon as anyone got off their bike,
he was right there, ready to climb on!
We are so proud of all the kids - you did an amazing job for a great cause!
I like the chalk drawings that Lizzy made of you and me. I'll assume that you are the organized and neat drawing on the left and I am the hot mess on the right. Note that my drawing is looking your way as if to say 'I don't know how she does it!'
