The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Laura came home from school today with a flyer about the different Hickman High School bands and a listing of important dates. She is most excited about Marching Band and cannot wait for camp.

Well, two days after my fever had broken, I started noticing an annoying cough. That turned into a wicked sore throat and even more coughing. It has been a weekend of trying to take it easy with lots of cough drops and television binge watching.

We used the new pasta roller and cutter set tonight. I was worried that is would be difficult to master, but it was much easier than I thought. The hardest part was figuring out how many times to put the dough through on each setting.

We decided to do spaghetti this time around.

That small ball of dough produced a lot more spaghetti than I expected!

The end result was very tasty!

I am looking forward to making more fresh pasta and attempting to dry it. Now, on to Amazon to buy a pasta-drying rack…

John is in St. Louis at the Youth Quake with our church, and he seems to be enjoying himself.

Laura was supposed to go as well. However, she made Northeast Missouri Honor Band, and they were supposed to rehearse all day on Saturday. Unfortunately, Laura got a text Friday morning that rehearsal was cancelled due to the impending weather, and it was too late for her to also attend the Youth Quake. So, I took her to do a little shopping and then to the library today. It is not quite the same as attending the Youth Quake, but we both enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, we are getting freezing rain. The temperature is supposed to rise tonight. I am hoping this will melt quickly.

Me: John, are you feeling gloomy this morning?
John: What?
Me: You are very grey today.
John: I have no idea why you just asked that.
Me: Hm… I wonder why…

Laura was standing in the background just shaking her head.

We got the email that it is time to try on jerseys for baseball, so Andy took John to Play It Again Sports this evening.

While John was not particularly thrilled to have his picture taken, it was necessary because the team will have a different type of jersey this year and John has grown just over an inch in three months.

The Mid-MO Stars will look sharp with the new jersey design! Bring on baseball!
