Food Lifeline

We went to Food Lifeline to bag food. We had a great time :) 

Doug came too. He's just not pictured.

We wanted to keep track of how many boxes we filled up so we kept a tally on the back of a scrap paper there. We filled 25.5 boxes! Each of the boxes has 15 2lb bags in them. I think the whole group of people did 63 boxes, so we did about 40% of all the boxes. and we were once of 4 tables. We're fast baggers and boxers :)

Another service project we did this year was putting together shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, but I forgot to take any pictures. We did about 15 shoe boxes I think. It's always fun to put those together:)

Sewing Sheets

Coleman's bed is really long and we couldn't find any fitted sheets that fit it so I found a tutorial online and made one out of another sheet. It ended up not being as hard as I expected and I was happy with how it turned out.

 

Raking Leaves

Doug, Kenzie, and Coleman spent awhile outside blowing and raking leaves. 

The made a pile and Kenzie and Coleman jumped in it.

And Coleman buried Kenzie in them.

We have lots of mushrooms in the grass!

Science Center

Coleman and I went to the Science Center together. I saw they had really cheap tickets and had to jump at the opportunity! It had a changed a lot since we last went and seem to be remodeling (which is why it was so cheap). But we enjoyed the things we saw and watched a cool documentary about Blue Whales. We had lots of fun!

Coleman with the butterflies.

There was a huge spider exhibit which was fun to go through

The Old House

We spent lots of time (especially Doug) getting the new house cleaned out and ready for people to come in and fix it up so we can sell it soon. It's weird and sad to see it so empty.

We had this sign hanging up on the wall for a long time, made by a much younger Kenzie. It says" HELLO! Do you have too much money? You do? Good!! You can easily give loans to Mackenzie Dance. Just put the money in Kenzie's mailbox tHANk YOU! (I will pay you back in 20 years) 

The empty piano room

All this furniture has been moved and it's totally empty in there.

Life in the New House

Jordan and Coleman have played chess a lot!

Jordan sitting in his reading nook. We took the ottoman from our old basement and it fit perfectly.

Cute Coleman!

A cool bird was outside!

Tennis Banquet

Jordan and Coleman had their tennis banquet in November!

There was picture of Coleman with his third place award from the JV tournament on the program!

The 4 seniors!
