The Actual 3rd Anual Trick-or-Toiletries!!!!

We were so happy to have our great-aunt with us because she was in the hospital for a few weeks, but is doing much better now!

What a great year! Let me give you a couple pieces of advice. First: don't ever go to streets you didn't pass out fliers to, I made that mistake this year and by the time I got home I was almost too tired to take in the donations and get out of my costume, I was almost falling asleep walking on the streets! Second: don't ever be Johnny Appleseed, ow! That's what I was this year, in the end I had to take off the pot!

Do you like my sea-sick pumpkin?
Anyway it was really fun. In total we got over 450 items!!! What a blessing!! When we went to go drop the donations off at Corona-Norco Rescue Mission we got a lot of thanks from the volunteers that work there.

Me and my brothers- they were a big help. Well, maybe not the baby!
We have also gotten reports from other families who have done Trick-or-Toiletries. There is one family in Temecula who exceeded their goal of 200, and there's another family in San Diego who met and went way over their goal of 150! I know I've said this before but I just have to say it, what a blessing!!

This was the total after Halloween, but the donations kept coming in over the next couple of weeks.
It was a lot of hard work, but I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to 2012 and posting about the next Trick-or-Toiletries!!!
