How is #projectmailstorm going for you? I did a few more this week. My senators, representative, and my dad's representative. A little bit of message on the back too.
4 white envelopes with messy pencil writing. Envelope 1, "The Constitution starts with We the People GOP isn't supposed to mean Guard Our Pedophiles" Envelopes 2 and 4 - "The Constitution starts with We the People " Envelope 3 - "You swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States The Constitution starts with We the People"

How did the dog not leave teeth marks on the s'mores box when he took it from the counter? (We don't know if it was latched, but he definitely ate the graham crackers)
View of carpeted floor with chair and table legs in the picture, a dog bed in the top left, a Tupperware translucent cereal container with a red lid lies on the floor near a plastic brown box with a handle for storing s'mores ingredients. A chewed Nutella lid is also on the floor and the empty Nutella container is barely visible past the tablecloth.
