I’m pretty excited about a few things.
FIRST: Greg has a job! In this crappy economy, he would have taken just about anything, but instead, he got something worth while. He’ll be working at Safe Haven Humane Society, part time. It’s just the perfect thing so that we can get on with his education. I wonder how many more pets we’re going to end up with…..we could end up with a petting zoo in our house if I don’t keep tabs. Though it will be hard to say no…. you know….. those cute little furry animals just tug at the heart strings they do! But I’m holding firm to one notion: we can not have a dog until we OWN a house. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
SECOND: Refer to the first!
THIRD: What was I saying? Oh, yeah. Things I’m excited about. Did I already say that Greg got a job? Oh, yeah. I did. J Ok ok, third, I’m excited because the Corvallis Fall Festival planning is once again underway! I’m one of the Kid Zone planners. I think this year we might try to do sock puppets, and then have a sock puppet play. Would that be fun for kids? I need my nieces and nephews around! Dang- why are all of you in AZ? Oh, yeah, I moved here to OR. Well, if any of you who have kids and actually are reading this, if you would be oh-so kind to leave a little comment of suggestions of crafty things you might like to see your kids doing at a festival. Please? Pretty please?
FOURTH: I started a weekly girls’ night. Tuesday night is now girls’ night at my place. We’ll see how it goes and what it turns in to. Last Tuesday was the initial one, and we had to brainstorm ideas so that we wouldn’t be bored to death during the weeks to come. I mean, there’s plenty of things we could do, but I need them to be cheap. Ultra cheap. Cheap, but not lame. So we came up with some things and I’ll keep you posted. Tonight is PIZZA, and possibly some card making or playing. Or playing Apples to Apples.
FIFTH: Refer to the first!

Yay for Greg! I volunteered at the Humane Society and it was very fulfilling but it definitely made me cry more than I'll admit. But the good you can do there for those animals is worth it.
As far as fun kid activities, mine love decorating edible things (cookies, apples, whatever) and I think the sock puppet idea is a good one. I know it's girly, but he also likes stringing beads or macaroni on a string. :)
Congrats to Greg!
I think the sock puppets are a great idea! Talmage is just getting to that craft stage so I'm not a good person to ask!
YEA for girls nights! You could have everyone bring ingredients and make a new recipe...I recently learned to make sushi rolls!
Woo Hoo!!! ANY job in this economy is awesome.. but his really is awesome! Big congrats! Gee, my kids are all grown up, so can't help you there. :-) But for girls night.. love the recipe idea someone had. Also, movie night: think Breakfast At Tiffany's, really good chic-flicks. Or maybe some sort of charity project.. that sort of thing. LYB! M.
Congrats Greg on your new job. Cris's girlfriend, Jess, volunteered at Humane Society and while she enjoyed it she was sorely tempted to bring some strays home. She would get so mad at people who would just drop off a pet because they didn't want it any more. So sad.
Miss you both and so glad to get updates on what's happening in OR.
