Before Blake started school I told Chris I wanted to volunteer and be active in her school community. He laughed and said "Volunteer once and the PTA will have their claws in you. You'll never be able to get away."

Four years later I am now the PTA president. To say I'm busy is an understatement. And when I feel like slowing down or not caring as much, Blake reminds me why I work so hard with each smile when we talk about events at her school.

Last Friday we held our annual fall dance.

 There was hair painting and spray tattooing....

A few games and lots of dancing....

But best of all there were tons of smiles!
