For Upward Bound this year, I planned the Res-Life orientation in coordinace to games from Minute-To-Win-It. While setting up the game Amanda worked on her door decs and Katie worked on a scraf. Basically it was an amazing night, I should have taken some more photos, but I just got these couple of Amanda doing "Dizzy Mummy" as we tried to figure out the rules, regardless, I think they are pretty amazing.

After work yesterday a bunch of full-time went out to the Bear Brew to just decompress a bit before the week of staff training. For those of you who don't know, I work at a program called Upward Bound that works with low-income, first-generation high school students prepping for college. I was in the program myself as a youngster and now I will be gearing up for my 7th summer as a staff member. It's a terrific program, and takes a great deal of energy, so we just sat on the deck and had some good company.

Not a whole lot to say about this one. Caitlin and I were in AC Moore and we decided to try on some lovely masks. They reminded me of the masquerade scene in Labyrinth!

So, finally, yesterday, we made a great exchange : I would try beat cake and she would try a poptart. I hate vegetables, so mixing cake and beets together seemed like the original sin. Kelsi did NOT want to try a poptart (it's too manufactured for her!) We did this at FA because some of the students on the VT trip were there. End result : she didn't hate it, and I didn't hate the beet cake! All in all, success?
