The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Laura decided that she wanted to give Drama Club a try this year.  She was cast in “Jack and the Beanstalk” – a musical written for elementary school aged kids.  Her role is a farmer and she will perform her songs as part of a group because she was not comfortable performing a solo for her first ever stage appearance.  She is *very* excited and cannot wait to start making her costume.  The Drama Club will practice every Wednesday after school with the performance on October 8 in the Ridgeway Elementary gym.  Let me know if you want to attend!

John is playing in the Diamond Council Fall Baseball League for the Withrow Electric team.  He is on the same team with four boys from his spring team and five boys from Ridgeway Elementary school.  Tonight, John had three, solid hits and did well playing in the field.  Let the season begin!

I actually accomplished lunch preparation early on this Sunday!  Everything is ready to go by 5 pm.  I see some relaxation time in my future tonight.

Laura decided to “kill two birds with one stone” today.  She tried out her new painting easel that Grandpa Ken made for her birthday and she painted a picture that she promised Alia.  Laura was so excited to use her easel for the first time.  She loves that the easel is adjustable and will grow with her.  That is, provided she ever actually grows taller…

Laura has a great time painting.  She decided to paint an abstract.  She even finished with a flourish by splattering paint on the canvas.  She did manage to get a lot of paint on herself, but she certainly had fun doing it!

And, now, for the final product.  I hope that Alia loves it!

I discovered this in my office today.  I think the second floor of ARC missed me!  After a short excursion with an office on the first floor, I have been moved back to my original office.  It sure is nice because I love that office!
