FUN.....FOOD.......WORK! Our offices rotate being responsible for monthly staff meetings. We have to choose the place, theme, and provide the food. Then the rest of the year, we sit back and enjoy the other office's hard work. We have a staff of about 40. We set the bar for having the most creative, so we had to live up to it.

We had bubbles setting on each table. A prize went to the first one who opened the bubbles and blew.
My friend Cathy, our newest staffing specialist.
Prizes were awarded to the best "theme" dressed.
WORK.....the main objective.
My boss delivering "not so good" news about the upcoming accreditation. The music and atmosphere softens the blow.
TEAM BUIDING
Demonstration....teachers can't follow directions!
I promised my boss I would not show anyone the video of her hoola hooping! Job security!!
I have dropped this phone twice on ceramic tile floors. It went flying into three pieces. I put it back together and it worked fine, just a little scratched up. The second drop was a little harder to put back together, but it works. My contract isn't up for awhile, so I do not want to buy a new phone right now.
I have heard, when you leave a dog home, sometimes it will tear something up to get back at you. Kaya had been so good and hadn't chewed on anything or had an accident in a while, I didn't crate her, I was only going to be gone a short time. I closed all the doors and made sure there was nothing she could get to and left to run to Walmart. I left my cell phone on the coffee table. When I got home it was in three pieces and I couldn't find the internal antenna. I looked everywhere for for the small cyclinder. I hoped she hadn't eaten it. I looked under the couch pillows and everywhere. I shook the afghan out that was on the couch to tidy it back up and the antenna came flying out....but so did a real live lizard! I am not afraid of lizards, only when they come flying at you out of nowhere! I put the phone back together and it still works great! I can overlook the teeth marks and scratches. It is one tough little phone. It takes a licking (literally!!!) and keeps on ticking.

We had our monthly staff meeting today. It was my office's turn. I will post pics later!
Love to all. Don't you love this cooler weather 
Today is the first day of fall and the cooler breeze is nice.
This is a cheer for all the Nana's in the world who love their babies and want to make their world. I think he is cheering me!
I have had some very generous friends donating toys for my toy room. On Wednesdays I pick Dallas up from daycare and we spend quality time together. I did not gt a chance to go through the donatins and put some up......so here is Hurricane Dallas as he discovered his new world!
So many new things!
He shed his outer garmets and dove in in his spider man boxers.
Of course Kaya "the exercising dog" has to get in every scene. She thinks she is human!
His safe place to eat...where Kaya can't threaten his food!
He helped me shop for the ingrediants for his supper menu of grilled cheese, cheetos, and a short soda. Along with a jeep!
I LOVE Wednesdays!!!
I wondered why there were hundreds of hits on my site for Kaya on the treadmill. I have hada strangers comment. I clicked on this link and found out that it was chosen as one of the featured videos. How cool is that!
Kaya thinks she is a person. Whatever room I am in, she is right there. When I get in the hammock, up she comes. So, why not the treadmill too. I tried locking her in her crate....but she can hear me and howls like a hound dog. She is getting better. At first she just swiped at my leg with her paw, or bit at it. Then she kept getting braver and braver. Who knows, she might get it right yet!
I made the boy work. He cracked the eggs, added the ham and cheese and stirred the omelet and watched over it as it cooked. It is never to early to start....right Jimbo!
Then, after church, I made him earn his lunch. We washed my car. He really was a big help....some of the time. Dallas: Look Nana, my pockets are full of water! (as he sticks the hose in each pocket.)
Dallas: Nana, I'm going to get in trouble, my clothes are wet.
Nana: No, you were helping Nana. Mom won't be mad. We'll put them in the dryer.
He loved the room and Kaya played well with him. At times, I wasn't sure who was pursuing who!
After lunch, we took a little time out on the hammock to read a book.
The view from the hammock was lovely....especially in light of the rainy days we have had.
The room was a hit...and the day was a hit. He is such a precious bundle of energy!!!
I am keeping Candace's dog for her. She is a little Houdini. She can get out of the back yard anywhere. I had her closed up in the bathroom and she managed to get out and open my closed bedroom door. Needless to say, I had to do something!
How can you you get mad at this little face?
So, now she has her own bedroom.
.
But she has to share with Dallas.
I get Dallas tomorrow, so I will post pics!
