Yesterday was the monthly homeschool meeting.  It takes us an hour to get to the group.  We don't get to go very often as it costs too much time and money to load up our crew into the 15 passenger van and drive the hour at 8miles to the gallon! 

Well this time we had to go....we had clean-up duty.  A friend of mine took 2 of my children with her, and my husband drove the blue whale (the van) to work so that we could drive a less gass guzzling car the distance!  Anyways, we got there and discovered that they were doing something different.  It was so neat!  There are a couple families in our homeschool group going through a very rough time.  So our leader decided that we would make them baskets of food.  We got in groups of two and started cooking in the church kitchen.  When we were done, we had 3 wonderful looking baskets to deliver.  It was really fun.  And we still managed to get our talking in!
