Busy Busy Busy is the theme for the year.  How are we almost to October??

Yesterday we canned 24 jars of salsa, plus I helped Leah pack for 3 hours and we took the twins for 8 hours, plus I had to prepare my talk. It was a crazy day!

Last weekend we got to puppy sit adorable Leisel!  She claimed the guineas are her new BFFs but they wanted nothing to do with her!

We also babysat the twins

I worked extremely hard on the Houston Hurricane Project.  The truck ended up coming this week so I was in a major panic to get it all done, but we did it!  The truck is on its way to Houston with 35 boxes packed with 1,727 books, filled with over 1000 handmade bookmarks by students, 5 large boxes of hygiene supplies, and 8 boxes of textbooks!!! So grateful for 2 of my friends from high school that helped with the transport and finding a school!

I also worked to coordinate a students 4H project and our church youth to get ribbons with kindness letters onto stuffed animals and gather  books to go with them that I will deliver to Operation Underground Railroad at Christmas!

Grace was helping

Kayla had her baby shower up in Hooper yesterday.  Wish we could have been there too! We also love the 3D picture of Ellie.  We are so glad all is well!

So glad Marisa got to go and it looks like you all had fun bowling too!

Happy 70th Birthday to my mom!  Wish we could have been there to celebrate with you!!!

This was our view of the eclipse.  Still waiting on pics from the 2 who had the best view in the nation!

Im back to school and it has been extremely busy! Kids are loving the new activities and new areas we have. I think my new media assistant is wondering what she has gotten herself into!

We had a fun skype with Sean Fay Wolfe who wrote the Minecraft series- the Elementia Chronicles

My friend who got 2 rescue guinea pigs for her classroom, gave them a bath last weekend and realized one had gotten super fat on the sides.  She called me in a panic and I said I would take her until the babies were born and weaned.  Good thing she brought her over!  Alayna got a super bad cold with fever aches and chills.  She was home on Wednesday, went to check on Zoey (the mom) and found 2 happy healthy babies there!

Tyler is really enjoying working at the daycare and the kids love him.  We also brought zoey and the babies one day for show and tell

Here is alaynas new school picture:

We have been canning tons of tomatoes!

Who wants to see Bob in a new light? Lol
