I had lots of fun helping Kristen with the second graders yesterday. The teachers did a rotation among the second grade units at the school where she teaches. One teacher did a cute dance to the Monster Mash, one read fun stories, another made ghosties with the kits and on and on. Kristen's project was a Halloween letter written by the kids. The project reviewed all sorts of skills the kids had been learning like abbreviations and capital letters, etc. When the kids finished their letters, they glued them onto black paper, folded them in half and sponge stamped bats,ghosts or cats on their covers. It was fun and messy and everyone had a blast. Kristen has some great moms who volunteer their time and effort in her class and it was nice meeting them and the rest of the second grade teachers. Those kiddies sure wore this ol' gal out, I'll tell ya that!

For those of you who do not know yet, E did ok on his stress test until the very end when his heart started acting up. We leave in a bit for the hospital for him to undergo a cardio cath. This is to establish a base in case the meds the dr. has put him on to regulate the timing problem with his heart do not work. The next step might be a pace maker. WE'll be gone most of the morning (about 5 hours we've been told) and I will update when I get a chance. Good thoughts are appreciated!

Love to all!
