So last night was the fall festival at school. I was never told anything about it really (as far as me having to help out or do something). So, yesterday I asked Mrs. Sugg (while I was in her office trying to un-confuse here about some student assessment data), I asked her if I needed to do anything. She said I could help out with anyone I’m friends with or just help out with various teachers. Then she said if she had thought to tell me, I could have set up a booth for the computer lab. She didn’t think about it because classified staff aren’t even required to be there. Sooo…..I had already been thinking about what I would do if I could do a booth. So, at 3:00 yesterday afternoon I officially decided to set up a bracelet making booth.

After school was out, I went to Wal-Mart and bought all kinds of beads and elastic. I came home and got Colin. Then we went to the bus garage to pick up Katee. Theeeen, we got some food from Wendy’s and headed over to the school.

The fall festival was from 5:00 - 8:00. We opened our booth later than 5 (I don’t remember when exactly). There were some times we got really buys. We had kids all around our table making bracelts. We made (or the kids made) 85 bracelets in all (and only about 4 or 5 kids spilled their beads). I will get 50 cents per ticket to use to buy stuff for the computer lab. ^____^ Yes, it’s nowhere near the 492 tickets the blue pod (5th graders) made with their haunted house, but still; I think I did pretty good for it being so last minute. And yes, I had to buy all of the beads and stuff but I still made a profit.

Colin and Katee were a big help. ^___^ Well….Katee went off and played a lot of games, but she did get me a fish. ^_____^ That’s right! A new member to the family- a little tiny fish named Dashy. He lives by himself so Chunk won’t eat him. ^__^;;

Yesterday it was pouring down rain. As we were leaving the fall festival, I ran through a big puddle of water and got my feet totally soaked. Hopefully it won’t rain so much today. Tonight is the fall festival at my mom’s school. We’ll probably pop in for awhile. I think we might go get Degrassi Season 4 from Evansville sometime in the next little while. ^___^ Whoo-hooo!

OH! And I almost forgot. I got a laptop yesterday! ^_______^ Just wait until you see it. I’ll post a picture soon. It’s awesome. ^___^

Pouncy is adorable by the way. <3
