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.
