Tubbs' pre-school has a "Relay for Life Team" this year to support one of their teachers who has cancer. I have been so impressed with the staff's enthusiasm and creativity to raise money.
They have sold homemade salsa and are having a Pampered Chef fundraiser right now.
Last week they held a car wash where the 4 and 5 year old kids got to wash cars for donations. I was fortunate enough to skip out of work for about 45 minutes to support the cause.
As I pulled into the line to get my car washed in the parking lot, I was looking for Tubbs in the sea of gremlins in purple shirts.
From a distance I see him hanging out at the water cooler with his buddy Cooper and sunglasses on.
I snapped a few pictures of the crew during their snack time. It was about 80 degrees out and the kids had only been outside for about 30 minutes. You would have thought they were being treated as slave labor the way they flopped down anxiously on the blanket to eat grapes, crackers and juice.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
