Every Season's Change: This weekend...

Rob and I are involved at both the high school and the Elementary/middle school. Because of this we are involved in/ go to almost every event that happens at each school. This weekend was a pretty typical weekend for us. Friday morning, the middle school was in charge of chapel, presenting to the rest of the school what they did on OE. Our squad reinacted the traveling days. They did a good job, although they were a little stage fright compared to their exaggerated acting when we practiced! Rob and I also put together a slide show of a bunch of the pictures from OE. It was fun to make. I tried to see if I could post it on my blog, but for some reason it just won't work. I will try again. Maybe the video is too big??? Anyway. Chapel went great!

On Friday night, the middle school had a game night where Rob and I were in charge of pictionary and capture the flag. After getting to know some of the middle schoolers over OE, it was fun to play games with them. They are a really silly group of kids.

Saturday was filled with getting ready and doing the annual Community Banquet. This is a banquet that the student council is incharge of, where anyone from the community can come (parents, teachers, etc.) and the students cook and serve food! So, the day was filled with decorating, cooking, and serving. We did 2 seatings so Rob and I were able to sit and be served at one of the seatings, while another couple coordinated the kitchen! This is a rare opportunity for us as I am the Student council advisor!At any other student council event, I am often running around, making sure everything is going smoothly. It was sooo nice to sit and relax for a little bit! And then the other couple sat and enjoyed the food, while we were back in the kitchen. We had a few little adventures that evening. Some of the tables were outside where you could enjoy the veiw. As soon as we were about to serve the salad, it started pouring raining!!! So, all the kids ran out and rescued the tables and chairs, and brought them under an overhang. They moved quickly and did a great job. It was quite the storm. As we were just about finished serving the last few main courses, the electricity went out! Yeah, so here we are in a dark kitchen, trying to finish doing the desert and washing dishes by candle light! It was quite the adventure, but the students came together and cleaned up! All-in-all, it was a great success! On Sunday, we were able to relax, which was really nice. Here are the pics of the weekend:

Here is our squad reinacting the travel days (can you tell they are on a plane??)

Playing pictionary at JR. High game night

This game was hilarious. It is a game where all the middle school boys get together and cling to each other. Then all the girls have to try and pull them out of the group any way they can! Amazingly enough, no one got hurt and everyone loved the game. It was so much fun to watch!
