One of our "normal" guys has gone out of his way to develop a "friendship" with Carson. He brings the trashcans up to the garage and is always waving bye from 5 houses down. Well, a few weeks ago he brought the trashcans up to the garage and gave both of the kids $1.
We decided to use the money to buy chocolate chips and make them cookies. We had a great Tuesday making cookies and cards for them. As you can guess, the next day was the "mean" crew. I put the cookies in the freezer, explained 15 times why we didn't give them to the other guys, and we waited....for an entire week, only to miss the trashmen b/c we had to take Delaney to school. At that point, we had to eat the cookies to heal our broken hearts!! I was left with some cute cards too b/c they said, "Injoy your cookies."

Yay!! You updated! I love this little bit of Dillard family culture. I wonder if the trashmen have a special fondness for your kids or if they think the kids' mother is kind of cute. Better watch that, Matt!! And maybe the mean trash guys should get the cookies. I bet they'd be nicer if they did.
Tell Carson this reminds me of "Once upon a time" when I had a little boy living at my house. He loved trash days, too. I think it was the big truck that captured his attention. Unfortunately, this mom never thought about baking chocolate chip cookies for the guys. Great idea, Gretchen. Thanks for sharing from the days in the life of Carson, Delaney and their Mom!
