Big Event!

We missed this last year, so I put a reminder on Google calendar this year so we could make sure to sign up. Big Event is the Saturday when the college students at A&M volunteer to help members of the community, usually with yard work. Austin had a whole list for them this year including pulling up a dead tree, planting a new one in it's spot, weeding and mulching the flower beds and garden and pulling up the carpet and tackboard from Mariana and Gloria's room so we can tile when they are at camp this summer. We got 10 students, and they were a wonderful group. They worked hard, were friendly and were great with the kids even letting Gloria, Anastasia, and Cecilia help them! (Cecilia held the weed bag open and said, "thank you" every time a contribution was made. It was adorable!).
They got the whole list done exactly in the time alotted for them to be here. We are so thankful...it would have taken us weeks to get all that done!
