Today, the grandmas have had all the electronics that we could stand, so in an effort to unplug these kids, I unhooked the cable and the internet coming into the home.<br />
While I was downstairs helping with the pillow cases, Kim was upstairs helping with the beading… She took leave of her senses and ended up going to Walmart to buy more beads. Now we have enuff for the next 3 years. And I guess we had a downpour. We heard nothing downstairs.</div>

The kids from 8 and above sewed by themselves and then serged by them selves. The little ones sat on laps or if you are 4, you stand to the side and stomp on the foot pedal. This makes for an exciting time for the sewer.<br />

Malorie hated her pillowcase and did NOT like sparkly butterflies. Finally I got her to stomp the pedal to sew and sit on my lap to sew and by the afternoon, she LOVED it and didn't know what I was talking about! And she's going to come sew by herself! Lydia is the one who perfected the stomping on the pedal, and she sewed her pillowcase when we went to Dallas to visit. And of course no pics.<br />

Lunch: Sam’s Club We
went to Sam’s Club for lunch because Sonic had $.99 hot dogs, and I didn’t want
to be in the car eating with all these bodies, so Sam’s hot dogs it is! And by hot dogs, they ordered anything they wanted. Sam's was out of cheese for the pretzels-- and no they won't just go get it off the shelves. </div>

Beading, Paracord Bracelets:
By the last afternoon, the older girls wanted to nap with Luke, so Kim
continued helping with the beading and the other kids made their paracord
bracelets. When it goes down, they will be prepared… but the little guys only
have a few feet of cord. </div>

We have the ever popular flag ceremony and then songs. Malorie's favorite this year is 'Little Sally Walker'. As you can see, the other kids are just pretending that they are over the singing. Especially Jocie, who is 15.<br />

<b>Project Runway:</b> The teams split up and had an hour to ‘make
it work’ with their thrift store finds. . They needed to make the outfits fit and do makeup for the fashion
show. <span style="color: red;"> </span><br />

He had a size 8 suit which they cut down to fit a 2 year old. Addie got off the plane looking for a safari. She had to alter the outfir to fit her, and then Reed came looking for his biker gang. He cut a woman's 'leather' jacket to make a vest and boots from the sleeves. Then he added tattoos and was ready for the island!</div>

While the movie went on, we had teams going to the thrift store to prepare for tomorrows 'Project Runway'. No pics were taken. We split up the kids into 3 teams, and the
challenge was to take $20 and get an outfit for each. We didn’t have a theme,

Finally it's time to do! Each team tried all the events. They have 15 min I think for each to try the thing out. There are 4 on each team, and I was in charge of the knives, so you throw 5 knives, then go find them, and the next kid goes… We were hampered by dogs running onto the course and at least twice taking a knife.<br />

We split the teams to be even for the older kids, and then we have a team of a 2 year old, two 4 year olds and a 8 year old. Each team tried all the events. They have 15 min I think for each to try the thing out. There are 4 on each team, and I was in charge of the knives, so you throw 5 knives, then go find them, and the next kid goes… We were hampered by dogs running onto the course and at least twice taking a knife. Addie got the only bulls-eye during the practice.<br />

And a camp counselor... "Hi, My name is Kate and I'll teach you how to shoot ...b.b.s and slingshot." The thing about the bad pics, is it's fun to see where the action is-- the knives in the air.<br />

Team Runs: The teams,
all but the little kids team, figure out who does what event for the team run.
It is a timed event, one team out at a time, and each person does one event. So
if you were good at archery, you did it for the team. Then, of course the adults had to run
against the kids…Their time beat the kids. They were saved by Krista getting a bulls-eye... Well, she did take an archery class in college.</div>

<b>Flag:</b> We try to
always have a flag ceremony and say the Pledge of Allegiance. All kids help and
have to learn how to present the Colors. After flag ceremony, comes camp songs. Lydia's favorite is "A-Root-i-Choot" or however you spell it. You get to sing bad words--butt-- and sing with your tongue hanging out. That's the fun of GDC-- singing inappropriate words. There's many a song with them.</div>

<b>Knife safety, Whittling, Walking Sticks</b>: The kids always look forward to using knives
and making their walking sticks. They are getting better at stripping the bark
off and making designs. It really isn’t
whittling, but it starts them learning how to use knives and sharpen them. Kallie can burn names and designs into the sticks. </div>

<b>Nature Hike:</b> There
are woods and a creek that runs thru Kim’s property, so we ride in the mules
down to the woods, get boots on—that in itself is a huge project! And off we go with walking sticks and
all. Where else do you walk in the
creek, thru quicksand, down and up steep hills?
And thru the meadows to Malorie’s back yard. Picking every wildflower… Kim knows almost
all the names and has a book to look up what she doesn’t know. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Lunch:</b> This year we didn’t make the committees; partly due
to laziness and partly to the kids getting older and coming and going. They
have other activities and jobs that make it impossible to count on them being
there. The oldest is 16 and has a full time job; the next oldest is 15 and too
cool to come, but can’t stay away, then you have the others that have ballet,
sports, and band. We just went with
whoever wasn’t busy cooked. First day we
had Roll-up stuff and chips and veggies. I only have pics of the livestock getting fed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Bird Houses:</b> The wood (a cheap fence board, cut to the sizes
that Kim knows), After Reed drilled the bird hole, the kids nailed them
together. It works easier if you start
the nails for the 4 year old crowd. They
love using their hammer and making something.
There were plenty of nails used, lots coming crookedly out of the walls.
But that’s the birds’ problem. If you look at the very top pic, Lydia kept stealing nails from the can that Malorie kept hiding from her. It was really funny. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, I haven't posted any pics from the flag ceremonies and song time. I came across these gems...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PTe-9YsPmwE/V6uuEJ3Az9I/AAAAAAAAL7Y/K__fkow13VU8uL1MFgS6Q9AEXfjCHEpGgCLcB/s1600/flag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PTe-9YsPmwE/V6uuEJ3Az9I/AAAAAAAAL7Y/K__fkow13VU8uL1MFgS6Q9AEXfjCHEpGgCLcB/s640/flag.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And of course, Xena the snake came up for day camp. She always comes on vacation with Tom in the summer. She was one of the mapping stops from the other day. And, we have extras for the Friday fun-- we need their parents to help run things..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CsLWU_xx3EI/V6uuE28wdzI/AAAAAAAAL7o/fzCweqLZVakIqLDbeiR_zfXpCt6APjfowCEw/s1600/treasure%2Bhnt%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CsLWU_xx3EI/V6uuE28wdzI/AAAAAAAAL7o/fzCweqLZVakIqLDbeiR_zfXpCt6APjfowCEw/s640/treasure%2Bhnt%2B1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then, with their map knowledge, Tom had a treasure hunt for the kids. Everyone had to be there for the reading of the clues.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next was the thing all the kids were waiting to do... Making knives! Tom brought some knife blanks, then the kids had to draw the shape that they wanted for their knife, transfer that to the blade, choose the handle, and go out in the shop to cut it out. Only those older than 13 got to cut their own, unless they had help. </span></div>

When the knives got finished it was time to go down to the campsite. There they had the knife throwing, hatchet throwing and we couldn't find the BB guns. I really don't know if they found the throwing knives or hatchets... <br />

I didn't get a pic of each plate, but the kids had to figure out what to cook using those ingredients and they could add from the pantry. We had soup, stir fry, corn muffins with apples and marshmallows, cornbread smothered in honey, and I can't remember what else! Very delicious!!</div>

The tie dye ones were made in Mandy's kitchen, and has a surprise inside. The middle ones were mint Oreo cupcakes and were very gourmet ...they even had a mint leaf put on top for garnish. And the other end ones, were made to look like a watermelon-- pink cupcakes with mini chocolate chips in them and green icing.<br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As you can see, Malorie couldn't paint the way she wanted to, but her team just added it to their design. The other two teams didn't finish their doors. I couldn't blame them, it was waaay hot out there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We will definitely do this next year, maybe have a different chopped basket for another lunch. And the HGTV project needs to be smaller.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">At Fritz's they bring your food on a train. It's hamburgers and all, but they have train tracks around the top of the restaurant and load it up with your food. The kids love it! Kate told us to get there early-- we were there right around 11:00 am, and by 11:15 there was a line. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On Tuesday, we had the flag ceremony and the parade of countries. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then we went on a nature hike and Kim has a map of her property. The kids have to map certain landmarks and pick any flowers that they see. The hike was taken on the mules, mixed with hiking. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They then had to look up and find all the names of the flora... </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While whittling starts, lunch gets cooked. We used the buddy burners, but I think this is the last year. It takes forever and I have lost my zest. As you can see, the kitchen crew take their job seriously. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> For afternoon snack, we had brownie waffle failure. It was supposed to be brownies cooked in a waffle iron-- they did this last year and it turned out great-- so Jocie just put the brownies in a pan to cook. Brownie Failure turned out delicious!</span></div>
<br />

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Crafting paracord bracelets took place during nap time, and every other minute. <br />We had to go thru miles of the paracord. And had to send out for more.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After naps, string art was going on. At least it was Kim out in the garage. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">About a week before Day Camp, we realized that the Olympics
were coming up in a few weeks, so we had to change the theme, which means a
T-shirt change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s Amber and Mandy’s
problem. Amber does our graphics for the t shirts, and Mandy uses her silhouette
and cuts them out and does the iron ons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
The theme went along with the Olympic colors, and of course a mosquito added to the back for the Zika Virus. </span>So the nite before camp begins finds us finishing the shirts about
midnight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next year we need to get them
done earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RDryU0htPec/V6aA7QVRnAI/AAAAAAAALOw/xRIh36u123EiBE8GxAcoOqN1AteLnQi0gCLcB/s1600/%25231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RDryU0htPec/V6aA7QVRnAI/AAAAAAAALOw/xRIh36u123EiBE8GxAcoOqN1AteLnQi0gCLcB/s640/%25231.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">True story about the shirts, when Malorie saw Kim's shirt she took to back pedaling and pointed out that "Grandma there's a bug" and then when Addie put hers on, we heard a scream and she busts out with "I thought there was a bug on me!" Throughout the week we all had that kind of reaction at sometime.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We always start with the flag ceremony...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You would think by now they would have it memorized, but you would be thinking wrong... You would think we would get better pics, but we never do...</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then inside for camp songs...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then dividing into teams and making the team flags. They were divided into three teams for the week, and had to decide on their name and flag...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Brody wasn't here on the first day, so his team-- Addie and Abby made them the BAA team with a lamb with a man bun for their mascot. Jocie, Emmy, Malorie and Luke were Kearney's Finest. Malorie decided at the last minute to try and paint their flag pink. Kallie, Reed and Will made themselves the Ferocious Fruit. Kind of a Carmen Miranda Brazil theme. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kim got her morning nap in…. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Home for lunch- the committee made the food. On the first day, they always make rollups and veggies. You will have to look at last year for a pic, if we have one...</span><br />

<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Afternoon snack—Poop on Ice,</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> of course! It was incredible </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">this year! for those who don't know, it is No Bake Cookies, hot over ice cream. DON'T stir it up together, it turns into nasty oatmeal. It has that warm chocolate thing over ice cream going on... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While Kim took her afternoon nap, we prepared our boards for string art. Kim and I had Olympic outlines, but the kids each wanted something different. They got on the computer and figured out what they wanted, and painted the boards to get ready. </span></div>

Due to Temple day on thursday, we scheduled a family day. It was too hot to go to the zoo, so the kids and moms went swimming and caught up on crafts.<br />

Then we were scheduled to go to the play and camp out on friday. It rained like a bugger on friday, so we went to the play on saturday nite. Kim's grandkids were performers in "Shrek the Musical Jr." A grand time was had by all! The camp out never happened...<br />

On Mountain Man Day, we have more cousins come. My brother Tom, does a Mountain Man thing for Boy Scouts in Texas. He brings and buys the things that we need to do it here. <br />
<br />
Knot tying. Kallie learned about different knots at Girls Camp, then researched it online and taught all of us different knots and where we would need them. We need more practice...<br />

Fire building. In addition to learning about how to start a fire, the kids had to gather wood and cut it to size. We kept the saws under adult supervision.<br />

track… and getting one kid to learn to ride his bike!<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s been on my fridge since then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, the end of September, I gathered her up
and we went to JoAnn’s to purchase the fabric and pattern, <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/p-11879-disneys-frozen-costume-for-children.aspx" target="_blank">Simplicity1233</a> .</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She chose all of it—and decided to go with white organza for the sleeves
and cape thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It looked so much better
against skin than the blue… I also checked with the other grand girls to see if
anyone else needed a dress, so I was making three of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Addie wanted to modify the pattern to
have sleeve wrist points and the cape to drag the floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>*See her pic*</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The pattern went together fairly easily, there doesn’t seem
to be as many construction hints as in the regular patterns, so it helps if you
know basic construction.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I find on
costumes, that is usually the case.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When
making more than one of each dress, I always mark each piece with the initial
of the kid, so I don’t have to figure out by size which one goes with
which.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This has the bonus benefit of
marking right sides for the organza.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

is for Maddie and Mk is for Makinley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you sew one seam, then you do the same seam for all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to serge around the hem for the
organza.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I bought those snowflake
ornaments from Walmart </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">for the cape—they come 20 for about $2.00 and beats appliqueing each piece—that’s what the pattern wanted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I figure they can always be replaced for that
price as they get torn up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And they are
so sparkly!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I was sewing these
dresses, I came to the realization that they were really gowns—Miss America

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For some reason, we decided that Easter would be navy and a
pop of color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each family got to choose
their own color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was not well
thought out—it’s hard to get navy this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Within those parameters, the girls chose their own fabric. The green
dresses were going to be navy with green accent, but we couldn’t find the right
navy, so we switched them out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then to
choose the pattern… the little girls had this pattern, <a href="http://butterick.mccall.com/b5743-products-22642.php?page_id=376" target="_blank">Butterick 5743</a>. I especially liked the v-back, which none of the girls wanted. There was also a different capped sleeve pattern, which I loved. The older girls this
one, <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/p-6759-girls-dresses.aspx" target="_blank">Simplicity 1927</a> . This Simplicity pattern has a homely dress for the cover dress, but view C is real cute. It gives the tweens a shape. Jocie wanted a maxi dress, so I modified the pattern. The baby had</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <a href="http://butterick.mccall.com/b3782-products-2272.php?page_id=378" target="_blank">Butterick 3782</a>, but instead of pleats, I gathered the skirt, and made the same capped sleeves as the girls'.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Colter Run is: the kids were divided into teams, with
three on each team- one to shoot the BB gun, one to throw the ax and one to
throw the knife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These were a distance
apart, so there was also running involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You got points for speed, accuracy and had to do it safely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They loved this, then divided themselves into
other teams, and ran it again. We need a photographer-- Kate left and no one took pics...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and Feb is a low turnout election, so we have all day to think and list in

popular things from last year, trying to think up a sewing project, and
thinking of a theme.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We couldn’t come up
with a theme, but wanted to do a preparedness type of camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My g-kids ages range from 13 to 1 and my
sisters from 11 to 1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have 9 and she
has 5.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last year all mine came, but this
year only those that lived near were able to come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we had a total of 9 kids from 13 to 1.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

camp songs—and it takes a long time for each kid to choose a song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the non-readers have to flip the pages

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>The burners are
made up of rolling up strips of cardboard, putting them tight in tuna cans and
pouring melted paraffin wax over the cardboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Do this outside, so the over pour of wax isn’t in the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then Tom, my brother, cut the big cans with
an opening in the bottom a little larger than the tuna can, and we put some
vents at the top with a triangle punch can opener.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You need to save the tuna can lids—you use them to put out the
fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The wax needs to go over night to
harden up.</div>

whittling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We used the Cub Scout books

think the soap is much more unsafe than using twigs and would not recommend
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SAFETY HINT: The five year old

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I haven’t
fallen of the face of the earth… I came to a halt in blogging, waiting for pics
from Addie’s baptism dress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She got
baptized over a year ago… She wanted something with see thru sleeves and a full
skirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fabric went on sale and we
took her to choose her own fabric.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
chose the see thru and the plain white then started acting like a fool and
chose a pretty melon for the sash and none for a peek-a-boo ruffle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When she got home and realized that she
really wanted red sash and a red peek-a-boo ruffle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back to the store for the red…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made up the pattern from different pics,
her ideas and different patterns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

out for one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The collar gets many
compliments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She doesn’t care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also love the sleeves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She got baptized in Sept and they were just
perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the little girls love the
ruffled petticoat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it helps the
dress have a good twirl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I had to add
this pic—Addie and her cousin, Emmy played a song for her baptism.. Addie wore
her mom’s baptism dress, which by the way had see thru fabric.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next comes
the insanity of the American Girl doll dress!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the
lace up back and collar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That tiny
collar is the most time consuming…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
least the doll seems to like the collar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The doll has a lace up back, I promise, but I have no pic of it…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">FYI—the lace
up back looks fabulous, but is a real pain to always have to lace up to put the
dress on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about if you had to lace
up your shoes every time you put them on… something to remember.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
