THE CARNIVAL IS COMING

Yep, the Hansen carnival is coming up on Friday. I think we are ready. I am co-chairing it again this year. Things are falling into place and hopefully it will be a huge success. I put together a Halloween themed basket for our silent auction for Allie's class. It turned out cute. Jake's class did a UNI themed basket. Jake got a signed basketball from UNI (with Scott's help), so was pumped. Another mom put Jake's class basket together. I'm sure it turned it out cute too.

My mom is slowly recovering from her surgery. I hope she continues to take it easy & get well quickly. Her spirits are good, so that is a big bonus! A positive attitude goes a long way.

Jake played football in the Dome on Sunday. He played well & scored a TD after a nice, long run. His team came out strong, but couldn't get the win. It was a fun game to watch. Jake's soccer team lost this weekend too.

Allie had her first Brownie meeting of the year. There are about 15 girls in her troop. God Bless her leader! I'm a helper & wish I wouldn't have committed to that. I spend all day with kiddos at school, I'm done once 3:30 hits!!

More great tests coming home last week. Both kids aced their spelling tests and got over 90% on their reading tests. We are awaiting Jake's social studies test results.

My new countertops & sink should be installed on Friday! YAY!! Too bad I won't get to see them until after the carnival (& drinks afterward).

Flag football in the Dome. Jake is QB & has the football. He is getting ready to hand it off
Allie's latest piece of artwork. She copied it from a How to Draw book.
The silent auction basket for Allie's class. They drew Halloween & everyone brought in those items. I put the basket together. Instead of shrink wrap, I used cobwebs. Freaky, huh??
