Update

Whoo. It's been forever. Things at work are chugging along and I'm quite exhausted actually. The kids has very much obviously passed the "honeymoon" stage of the program and have become particularly dissatisfied with the program and unaffected by my oh-so-meditated behavioral management techniques. I swear the more I work with kids the more I realize that no behavioral management strategy is foolproof. It's become..a little difficult to control the group. At the end of the day Im just happy that they finished their homework and didn't hit anyone. 

Anywhooo... More on that later. NOW, check out these wonderful costumes we threw together for the first day of fall RELAY RACE.  We wanted to be scarecrows but didn't have hats or pants for the kids to put on, so we just threw together an assortment of items:

Illeana! Scarecrow?...more like sexycrow.

Hawt. The Tevas are a nice touch

Meanwhile, the team is stronger than ever. We love each other even though we spent our entire days and nights hanging out. Here's an adorable picture we took before going out to an EPIC karaoke bar in Dupont Circle. It's the full-time staff.

The Full-Time Team  : ) : )

We have been going strong on our Thursday night potlucks--such great conversation, and equally amazing food!

This upcoming week, we'll be heading to Richmond for an AmeriCorps kick-off thing. I'm pumped for the free hotel rooms, spending time for the best people ever, and perhaps meeting some other interesting AmeriCorps members in the area. I hear Richmond is AWESOME. Can't wait.
