O is for Octopus Craft

Hunter did this really cute "O" craft today, creating an octopus. I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs, and changed it up just a bit. Here is the original post.

First, I got a piece of blue construction paper. I had Hunter color the entire sheet, and then I cut out the "O" shape. Then I cut out four strips of blue paper and four strips of green paper, and had him glue them on as tentacles. Lastly, he glued on two googly eyes, just for fun. Easy peasy!

Giving Kudos

It's after 11:00pm and I have just finished writing a Christmas card to Outback Steakhouse.

Tonight mom and I went to the Christmas banquet for Sandhills Teen Challenge - great organization; I will write more later - and the food was great! Russell's Seafood, a local seafood restaurant, donated a portion - was it the chicken? I can't remember now. And Outback supplied the baked potatoes. This is no small feat for either of these places considering there are 300 people attending this event... three nights in a row. So 900 potatoes and 1800 chicken tenders later, there are some full people! I realized on the way home that these businesses should be applauded. I immediately got on Facebook when I got home (I am a "Fan" of Russell's on Facebook) and posted kudos to them for their support of Teen Challenge. I'm not a "Fan" of Outback, plus I don't want these kudos to go to the corporate office. I want to thank our local branch for supporting such a worthy cause.

So I sent them a Christmas card thanking them for supporting Teen Challenge and telling them their baked potatoes were delicious (they were). I also said I would tell people about this. So here I am.

My question is, do you think they'll actually open it and read it?
