ALS Ice Bucket Challenge + A Winner

It’s the *amazing* phenomenon that’s sweeping the nation – the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!!  I was nominated by bestie N and one of my bloggety-bffs Simply LKJ.  It admittedly took me a little longer than 24-hours, and in the mean time, both of the littles were also nominated by friends.  We sat down at the computer and researched ALS, we made our donation as a family, with both littles contributing from their own money, and then we were set!

 

The baby was up first.  He accepted his “LSP domination”, donated his $4 allowance, and was a great sport about the GIGANTIC bucket Honey chose to douse us with…

 

“Without further ado”, John stepped into the hot…er, cold seat.  He donated $15 and also took the deluge bravely…

And finally it was my turn!!  That was a LOT of water.  And it was COLD :-)

In all seriousness, we were proud to accept the challenge as a family and I tip my hat to everyone out there doing the same.  It’s the most creative grassroots campaign I’ve ever seen for this type of cause.  I can’t wait to see Sister and my favorite cousin take the challenge next!!

Now, before I run, I am excited to announce the winner of my big Ball jar giveaway!!!  The winner is:

I love chilled Ball jars for an ice cold Coke with a wedge of fresh lime. I also keep a couple in the laundry room to collect “treasures” from my two little guys’ pockets (before their shorts or pants go in the washing machine). I plan to save the jars and their contents and give them to the boys when they are older and reach a milestone birthday:-) It’s amazing to see what these little guys “collect” through out the course of a day.

  1. Loved hearing the voices behind the faces! ALS is horrific but this challenge has hopefully educated people about this disease.

  2. Be careful!! My brother once left a live frog in his pocket for my mother to find when she did the laundry!!!

  3. Congratulations, Sarah! Your Ball jar idea is fantastic and will make such original keepsakes. I LOVE that!

    God bless all whose lives are affected by ALS. We tragically lost my sister-in-law two years ago, at the age of 56. She was a wonderfully creative homemaker, fabulous cook and incredible mother.

    Kudos to you and Honey for taking the time to explain the true meaning behind the craze. Your videos are very cute!

  4. It was adorable watching your family do the ALS ice bucket challenge. I also did it today with my 2 little ones. My uncle passed away from ALS earlier this year. Thank you for helping spread the word about this horrible disease.

  5. It was so neat to hear the voices that go with the faces we see on your blog! All of your ALS challenges were great, but I must say that Whit's was beyond adorable and I loved how he "dominated" so many friends and his daddy! Absolutely Precious!!
