Just another Friday

Breakfast and Books.

I do this once a month with Pace.

Last Friday of every month.

The girls read a book every month.

I read it, too.
We (the mentors) are paired up with one girl (the mentees)

and we go to Books A Million,

in Naples,

and talk about it.

Then we talk about, well, whatever we want.

What's better than coffee, discussion of books,

and good conversation?

Nothing. 

:)

Decided to do all activities outside today for After-School.

It's Friday, the kids have no homework,

so we read and played outside all day.

And they picked flowers, too.

Then, at the end of the day, we had to say goodbye to one of my favorite kids.

He's leaving the school, and therefore, leaving our program.

So sad to see him go.

We gave him a card, and I gave him some bubbles.

Another kid gave him a toy that he had just "won" that day in school.

It was the sweetest.

(Disclaimer: impossible to get all these children in a picture, at one time, without moving)

Thankful we drive past this house every day on our way home.

They are SO decked out for the holidays.

Puts me in a festive spirit.

Love it.
