Miles Won

I didn't want Halloween candy around the house so I selfishly talked to the kids into selling their hard earned confections to their dentist for a dollar a pound. I explained that their dentist sends the candy he buys to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lilette carefully picked out the sticky candies she cannot eat because of her retainer (starbursts, gum, caramel). Miles said I think the Army guys will like call my candy and handed over his whole bag to the receptionist (I made him take 3 pieces for himself but I think he snuck them back in when I wasn't looking.

When you sell your candy to Ashman Dental they enter your name into a raffle for a gift card to Toys'R'Us. Miles won one of the gift cards.

Here the secretary is taking Miles picture to put on the office website (we looked at http://www.ashmandental.com/ but we couldn't find Miles picture anywhere.)


Here is Miles showing me his gift card:


Here is Miles showing off what he spent his gift card on (Legos):



Here is Miles putting his R2-D2 watch and Squidman mini kit together:


I don't want Miles to think he'll be rewarded ever time he does something selfless. This was just a cool coincidence.

Totally awesome! Way to go, Miles!! I wish our dentist would do this. I think I'll put a bug in their ear for next year....

I was just so grateful to have all of that tempting candy out of the house!
