Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2007. Mattie was five years old and was in kindergarten. This was the costume Mattie selected. It was our first year going to a costume store! Previous years Mattie only wanted to wear sweatsuit based costumes. So this change up was a big deal. We looked high and low for an Air Force pilot costume, however, the only thing being featured was a Navy costume. We bought it and then I reached out to a former student and friend of mine who is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. Within days, she sent me Air Force patches which I sewed onto the costume. Mattie was very proud of his costume and wore it with pride in his School's parade.

See these bins!!?? They are all filled with unsorted candy. This is the candy that accumulated in one day. We sorted for several hours on Saturday and we took today off. Well off from sorting, not off from collecting and piling up candy. We go back at it tomorrow with our volunteers!
This is a photo that was sent to us from the National Charity League. A group of moms and daughters got together to collect candy for us, to sort it themselves, and they delivered it by hand to us on Saturday! This is the first year they have participated in our Drive and we are honored to have them.
In fact, on election day, there are several students in the area who reached out to me. They have the day off and are coming to help sort!!! They are new to Mattie Miracle!!! Isn't that amazing?
