Ready, Get Set, Weekend!!

Another crazy fall weekend is launched. The kids are out of school today for a Teacher Workday. Andrew, Bill and Ethan ran errands and are now in Jeff City doing some guy stuff. Alaina is at preschool because Jordan and I have been running around getting ready for her first horse show tomorrow! Everyone wish her luck as she negotiates the groundpole division at Midway Expo Center at 8AM. The 8AM part may be the hardest!
So today she gets a last practice ride and we bathe her horse. Tonight Bill and Andrew will be at the Providence Bowl, which is the annual matchup between Hickman and Rockbridge, the two high schools in town. It is played at MU for added drama. Go Hickman!!!
After the horse show tomorrow we will get ready for the Fall Festival at Ethan's school. This includes making sheet cakes, setting up for a game in Ethan's classroom, and working various shifts running the game, serving pizza, giving out numbers at the silent auction etc. It is a big, fun night with lots of people.
Sunday I get to teach sunday school for the first time. I need to brush up on my parables before then. I have Ethan's class first and don't want to get shown up by a bunch of Kindergartners! It's a fun classroom though where we use multimedia to teach. I get to have the kids dress up and act out the stories on video tape, then we get to watch them. A new age group comes through each week as they rotate around different classrooms like cooking, cinema, art and science.
Sunday afternoon Jordan goes to the big corn maze with her youth group.
Guess that's it. Next weekend we will be in Nebraska for the NU vs. MU game. They guys finally found tickets and are excited to go. It will be Andy and Bill's 6th or 7th year in a row I think going to that match-up together.
