The Kassel Family Project Life 365

This is a big congratulations to Laura on getting a student worker job at SEMO’s Office of Admissions!

I nearly always get amusing pictures when trying to photograph the teenagers.

This was attempt #1.

This was attempt #2.

And, finally, there was success with attempt #3!

I was busy this evening as I am experimenting with a new type of soap colorant from a place called Bramble Berry. They have special colorants for melt and pour soap base that should not bleed into the other colors as the soap sits over time.

I also found these great boxes on Amazon. I plan to give these bars of soaps to the Blumes at Thanksgiving.

Then, I worked on wooden bead ornaments for Christmas presents for my staff. They will also get homemade soap, but I will make that in December.

Laura and her friends went to Olive Garden for dinner for their never-ending pasta bowl promotion this evening.

She said that they had a great time before their book club meeting and ate some great food.

She only has just over four weeks left in the fall semester. It seems like she just left for school yesterday.

I finally got around to looking through all the Hickman Marching Band photo albums. I came across this, which was taken at the MU Homecoming Parade. I was not able to get a picture of the entire trumpet section during the season, so this made me happy.

Then, I clicked the advance button, and I saw this.

I love it!

We spent the morning at the University of Missouri Sigma Chi house for the house dedication. The chapter was rechartered last year and officially moved back into the house this semester. It was a fun event spent with some great men.
