Weeks #31 & 32 were packed with pre-fair and fair activities. Record books, and educational posters turned in. The kiddos work so hard for this 6 days of fair. It is the conclusion of their 4-H year. We headed out early to the fair to turn in the posters, pick up tickets and get a sneak peak of the preparations going on at the Clark County Fair.
I finally received a letter from Vancouver Clinic Radiology that my mammogram came back clear and was negative from any masses or questionable spots. I breathed a sigh of relief. Through all of my health issues this year, I have continued to live my life motto, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway..." I have faced a lot of my fears this year, and through counseling, medication and a supportive husband, I feel like I have taken huge steps in facing some of my greatest fears.
I made SO.MUCH.JAM. Mark asked for jam...he got jam! Blackberry, strawberry, Marionberry and boysenberry. I just couldn't stop! LOL.
Still teaching away for VIPKID. I have to admit though...I've had a difficult time finding a schedule that works for me and is consistent. I was in a really good rhythm before the kids got out of school and before Mark's schedule changed. This summer I feel like I have tried just about everything. I have learned I don't like the split shift (early mornings and late evenings), and super early mornings too many days in a row. Currently I am trying two early mornings and 1 evening. That's the plan this week. I do have some regular clients I absolutely adore. I want to visit China so badly.
Saturday we attended a kids day for our church.
Milestone with VIPKID. 400 classes taught and 10,000 minutes of teaching.
The fair officially began on August 4th. We went for a fun evening prior to the start of all of our events.
Bella enjoys helping with Matthew. Hahaha

One more day at fair...I think I can...I think I can...
Ride day at the fair.
One last request...face paint to close out the fair. Until next year! The kids did so well. I was very proud of their work they put into the fair and their rabbits. It is a great lesson for them to start something and see it through to completion.
