I think the last time I washed dishes was Friday and I still don't have a pile to do!! Saturday was my birthday and I always ask my family to make it so I don't have to was dishes on my birthday. Sunday we were out all day. My family really makes me feel loved sometimes.

Last week the 4-H went to Give 2 the Troops to pack 100 boxes of supplies to send to troops overseas. You can see a report here: http://www.wnct.com/nct/news/local/article/celebrating_a_birthday_by_giving_to_others/32393/

I am involved in organizing three "events" this month. First, the church is helping out at Third Street School. I am the coordinator between the school and the church. I have arranged to take coffee and doughnuts this Friday during the teacher workday. I hope to get the volunteers matched with a teacher and started in a classroom.

Next Friday, The Oldest has his oral hygiene program at the school. It is his project, but I have to help. I really hope it goes well for him.

In a few weeks, my mom comes to do a pottery project with the 4-H group. This is an annual event, but we have stepped it up this year. We are taking the kids to the pottery studio at the parks and rec department to do pottery on the wheel with the older kids, the younger kids get to do a hand building project. It should be an all day thing for us. If you've never done it before, pottery on the wheel is much harder than it appears.
