Saving the World

Camden decided to do something special instead of presents for his birthday this year...

Here's how the invitations went (Yes, I am putting it up because I thought it turned out super cute and was rather proud of myself for the in-theme writing ... because I'm dorky like that.):

Attention all superheroes! Captain Point Sword requests your presence at a special meeting to discuss how to save people in trouble!

Our theme for his 5th birthday this year is: "Real Superheroes: Saving the World One Can at a Time." In place of gifts, please bring a donation for our local food bank. Camden will be making the delivery himself ... and just in time for Thanksgiving!

Please come in costume, but bring your school clothes with you.We know some of you have to fly off to school afterward, so we will have everyone fed and returned to their secret identity when the moms arrive at noon. We will provide lunch and 15 tokens for each superhero in attendance. See you at headquarters! (It's the Chuck E.'s at County Line and Quebec.)

He ended up with quite a haul. Thanks to all the families for putting together BAGS and BOXES of food, rather than just the one or two cans we expected! I was truly impressed and really quite touched. 

Cutest delivery boys I ever did see!

After church on Sunday, we loaded everything up on the stroller (which took some doing!) and walked it down to All Souls. Their food bank is two houses down from us, and that's where Cam wanted to food to go. He is such an amazing kid, and I love his big heart. And I have no doubt in my mind that he will change the world.
