This past week was Vacation Bible School. Theme: The Sorrowful Mysteries. For the first time in my life, I was not a crew leader! I helped out with Skits. One of the best parts of that was dressing up in random things from the costume boxes. :) See, I am still a little girl at heart. I love dress up.
Random Bit Number Two Which Partially Pertains to Random Bit Number One:
At the closing Mass for VBS I read the first reading. Normally I wouldn't comment on that but I have been off the lector list ever since we found out we were moving, and I miss it, since its about the only public speaking I get to do. :)
Part Two of Random Bit Number Two
Marcus was very funny during that same Mass! When we went up to recieve Holy Communion, he walked nicely behind Mom and recieved the blessing from Father. But he just stood there and stuck out his hands. He wanted to get whatever it was that we all were getting! I gently pushed Marcus to the side, and told him to follow Mom back to the pew. He made a pouting face and drooped his head.
Random Bit Number Three Which is Only Slightly Related to the Two Previous Random Bits:
For VBS I made a quick painting on a peice of cloth for Veronica's Veil. It has been months since I've painted, and I forgot how much I enjoy it. So, this afternoon I spent half and hour and got started on a new painting. At the moment I am waiting for my background to dry so that I can paint the foreground on. This is a pencil drawing of what I am painting.
Random Bit Number Four:
Ben and Will are off to Boy Scout camp for a week! This is Will's first time. As extremely annoying as they are, I will actually miss them. I won't know what to do when I only have three siblings to play with! Dad leaves to commute to work this week. The house is going to feel really empty. William will be at camp during his birthday. Mom has planned a surprise for him- she gave his leader a few small presents to give to him on his birthday (good camp stuff- a new hacky sack, a frisbee, chocolate). We will celebrate his birthday as a family when he returns.
Random Bit Number Five:
Today I had to babysit Nick, Addie, and Mark while Mom and Dad went shopping. Instead of letting them watch TV, I decided to read them a book out loud- The Magician's Nephew by CS Lewis. It is the only Narnia book Nick hasn't read yet. They didn't seem to happy about having to listen to a book instead of watching TV or reading the book themselves, but they just asked me to read some more to them, so I guess they enjoyed it!
Random Bit Number Five:
Nick randomly came and asked me to teach him how to crochet! He has nearly mastered the chain stitch.
