The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Of all the rooms in the house, this is my favorite.  I know it is just the dining room, but I have always wanted one.  We love the wall color, so we didn’t have to paint.  We bought the furniture from the previous homeowners because they didn’t have the space in their new house for it.  While the furniture isn’t really our taste, it works for now and it does look nice in the room.

I especially love Laura’s painting being the focal point of the room and the picture of my grandparents’ farm hangs on the other wall.  I even love the light fixture.  We don’t use the room very much, but I love it anyway!

Adulting isn’t always fun, my friends.  The old girl is getting a new drive shaft and these things are not cheap.  Hence the reason why Andy decided to change it himself.

She is putting up a valiant fight as she appears to not want to let go of the old drive shaft.  Thanks to Vince Pamperl and Greg Van Hove for lending us those tools we are only going to ever need once!

As part of the Sunday School program at our church, each class learns a different thing.  It gets progressively more difficult as they get older.  Today, John’s class presented The Apostle’s Creed.  They also make a project as part of the process to show the congregation while the video of them reciting the Apostle’s Creed is played.  I was proud of John because he would not recite the Apostle’s Creed for me at all.  He just kept insisting that he did know it, but I wasn’t sure that he really did.  Great job, John!

It was a busy Saturday day, but a relaxing Saturday night.  First, we went to the annual school fundraiser at Ridgeway Elementary – FunDay!  The kids got to play games and hang out with their friends for a couple of hours.  John managed to go through all his tickets while we had to give some of Laura’s away.  She’s much more methodical in game choice…

This year, we donated an Xbox One for the Golden Ticket Drawing.  While waiting in line for lunch, it always makes me smile to see the Thank You poster listing all the families and businesses that donate to the day.

Unfortunately, we had to leave FunDay a bit early this year because Laura had a cheer game at 1 pm.  Her cheer team has really gotten good over the course of the year and I was quite impressed with the halftime cheer.

We followed Laura’s cheer game with John’s basketball game.  His team won their first game of the season and they really played well!  The team has steadily improved and it is great to watch them.  I can’t believe next weekend is the end of the season.

We spent the rest of the evening relaxing.  We had a great dinner, some good drinks, and hung out with Jeremy and Chaley.  Now, to set the clocks ahead.  Tomorrow is going to come quickly…

Some days it would be really great to be a kid – like when they get to wear pajamas to school for Pajama Day.  Could I be 10 today and where my pajamas all day?!?
