Today was the day. For Methods we have to do a service project for our school which we are placed. Most people had 4 or 5 people at each school. Most of their projects consisted of stuffing packets, going to open house, etc. (I do that on a regular basis). At my school there is just one other girl who is in Kindergarten. We talked it over with Ms. Paney and decided we would beautify the school in some way. We had originally tried to re-do the "Discovery Hub." I went and bought a tree yesterday to plant in it. My plan was to plant the tree, clean out the fossil garden, till up the grass and get it ready to plant a garden then present the school with a basket of seeds and kid tools. However, this morning when we went to check out what we needed to go and buy we discovered that the area was much to large and hadn't been kept up in quite some time. The fossil garden was more like a weed garden and the area was going to take much more than a tree, and 3 girls working to make it look better, more like 1000's of dollars we don't have. So we walked around the front and saw the CROCKETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL sign and it has a planter with no flowers in it. So we decided that is what we would do instead. The following is how our day went...
This is what the Discovery Hub looks like.
This is what the fossil garden consisited of....(not to mention the rusty edges arent very safe)
This is what we found instead. This is a before picture. As you can see it has a flower bed yet nothing was in it. 
So off to Walmart we went. We decided we would get flowers that could last during the winter but still would add color. Below is Kristen and Colleen. (Colleen was nice enough to come and help us even though she isnt in our class or anything. She is such a good friend. I am lucky to have her) 
Then we came back to the school and got busy. The following are pictures of us hard at work. And finally our finished product. We think it turned out very nice. 
After we were done we started playing with our cameras (Kristen just got a new one so we played with our setting on flowers) I got some good ones of the flowers and an amazing few of Colleens wedding rings in the flowers...so pretty. 
We started early and were done by noon. It feels so great to be able to say we are finished with that. One more thing to knock off my list of things I need to get done.

Today when I got home, I finished up my laundry. Since I got up so early and actually got busy I am now in the mood to start packing. I am actually excited to be moving home. I cant wait to move. I love moving! I know Im crazy. But I love packing everything up and then unpacking it all and getting it all organized and ready for me to live in. I am also excited about having a big closet again and a dresser and a HUGE bathroom. Not to mention the whole upstairs (2 more bedrooms and another bathroom) all to myself. It isnt an apartment but I am still excited.
