Garbage Men Appreciation Day


I don't know if there is such a day that actually exists, however, we made up our own day.  From the time Bobby was really little we have watched the garbage trucks come and go every week.  If we are not home he is concerned that he will miss them.  He enjoys them so much that when he was younger and learning more sign language than he is now he made up his own sign for garbage truck.  If you haven't had the pleasure, soon you will be asked by Bobby what day does your garbage man come, and without fail he will remember and ask me 10 times if we can call and remind you to put out your cans? Abby and Tommy now enjoy them just as much.  I thought that these workers go all year without knowing how much our kids look forward to them coming and are truly sad when they miss them.  So, we made cookies and filled them in fun containers and waited patiently to pass them out.  Our Garbage men were troopers, one got out of his truck and thanked the kids, one other couldn't believe it was actually for him, and the last one just said thanks.
