Salvation Army bell ringers!!!

My little Doodlebugs and I checked another activity off of our bucket list: We rang the bell outside Walmart for the Salvation Army!!!
My entire life I have always wanted to ring the bell, but thought you had to be 'someone special' to do it. WRONG! When I had the chance I jumped at it, and so glad we did. Gunner & Karlee LOVED ringing the bell and waving at all of the shoppers walking into walmart. Some of the people even let the kiddos put money in the kettle for them and you should have seen the kids faces! WHenever that would happen they would squeal with delight and give the person donating a big hug...then you should have seen the donator's face: complete disbelief that they were being hugged by a complete stranger, and at age 3 no less!
Selfishly this was SUCH a great thing to do. You have no idea how GOOD it feels to do something so positive! You should try it in a town near you, all of the 'cool kids' are doing it :)
