The other day, London and her good friend Jenna decided, all on their own, that they really
wanted to raise some money for the "Jump rope for Heart" fund raiser(to fight Heart disease) that was going on down at school. They're motivation: All they had to do was raise $5,000 and they would get a Wii. Apparently the best way to raise $5,000 is to go in the front yard, turn on some loud music and dance for people driving by. They also decided to sell some old Halloween candy. Soon all the neighborhood kids had joined in. They made posters, literally stopped traffic and begged people for money. After all was said and done, they made about $25. Not too bad for a recession.
Jenna's dad was good to remind the girls that when they got older, they probably shouldn't dance for money. -Thanks Jeff!
After the whole ordeal, it just so happens that the ice cream man came tooting down our street. The girls were ecstatic, they suddenly had loads of money to spend! Don't worry, I set them straight. -Heart disease girls, heart disease, that's our motivation!

I saw them that day and felt horrible I couldnt stop. They were doing just what you said...dancing and waving me down and I had to pass them right up.They were so cute!
So cute Robin, we missed out on seeing the dancing in the streets. I love it. Once again, Libby Lou is such a cute baby. Love the picture you posted. You are such a fun friend! Love, Gaylene
It was nice to hear from you! My wedding pictures were taken by Swensen Photography. I think they did a really great job! However, from the pictures I have seen that you have taken, it makes me think you would be some competition! You are so talented!
