The Kassel Family Project Life 365

We took John for his first college visit.

Obviously, he has already seen the campus courtesy of Laura, but we figured it was a great place to start. I am struggling to figure out how my baby is already looking at colleges. His Senior year is almost here…

We are on the road for Cape Girardeau. John will be visiting Southeast Missouri State University tomorrow for his first college visit.

I have a holiday/seasonal decoration problem. Well, it is an addiction really. The decoration closet is full, and yet I buy more. We have our “regular” decorations plus decorations for New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Spring, Americana, Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Oddly enough, I always seem to find room in the storage bins that I currently have, so it is not really a problem that I continue to buy more decorations. Right? Right?!?

Today, I ventured to Hobby Lobby and finally bought the two-tiered tray that I have been considering for a year. I thought it would be the perfect addition to our dining room, and it now has a home on our cookbook shelf. The bottom tray holds stemless wine glasses, and the top tray is for the current seasonal decoration. I am almost giddy that I get to shop for Easter decorations for the top tray next!

Oh, I also bought a set of St. Patrick’s Day birds, affectionately known as “chickens” in the Kassel Castle. A girl can never have enough “chickens.”

Laura had her first concert as part of the SEMO Concert Band this evening. We could not be there, but I am sure the band did well!

When you have to drop your kid off at school at 7 am and then have some extra time in the morning because you are not ready to start work, you mess with different photo editing features.
