We filled toy orders today for the CHUM city Christmas Wish. So for example, you'd get a 'shopping list' for 15 toys for girls aged 9 and 2 toys for girls aged 11. You'd go to the bins and pick out the appropriate toys. Kyle got 3 volunteer hours although he found it boring. We also helped sort one of the huge toy bins. We got a lot of instructions, like if there's a toy avalanche, move out of the way. We saw that they are in need of gifts for teenagers as they always are. They are already booked out for volunteers for the rest of the season, it's a popular activity, especially on Christmas Eve.
L said the Twilight movie is not as good as the book and she did not think the lead actress was a good actress, although physically she fit the role perfectly. So that's her opinion if anyone's interested.

A toy avalanche!
I've done quite a lot of volunteering work and it is true, things for teens (not just a Christmas) are always in need. When we give, we try to donate stuff for kids 14 and up.
I heard the same thing about the Twilight movie. Too bad.
Tag, you're it!

Hey Christine
what a great thing you did this weekend. My girl loved the moved and could not wait to get started on the second book.
