We will absolutely do another contest like this. It was fun! I'm glad everyone had fun with it. My plan is to do this every time we go to a new location. I told the children that we would be home through Christmas though. We might not be able to do it again until February or March, when Hubby gets done with classes and sent to a new location. But we know how this job goes, it could change tomorrow.
