This week has been exhausting. In addition to the national church drama, we've had Vacation Bible Camp every morning. 46 kids! It was really great. The theme was 'Heroes of the Bible' and every day the kids made a different piece of hero-gear during craft time. One day was shields made out of foil pizza pans, one day was crowns, one day was capes, one day was armbands. Yesterday I took pictures of the whole group in their hero outfits, and we printed them all out on the inkjet and the kids made frames for them today. Because, if you don't bring home something made from popsicle sticks, it isn't really Vacation Bible Camp, now, is it?
I thought Heroes was a great theme considering how many boys we have here (seriously, the Y chromosome is alive and well at St. Ned's) and it seemed to engage the kids. I wasn't really participating since I still needed to be at my desk, but I could hear them whooping it up in the room next door. I got song-bombed by their song Pharaoh Pharaoh, which is sung to the tune of Louie Louie. Had that stupid song in my head every day well into the afternoon.
Anyway. It's almost the weekend and there is much rejoicing. I thought I had to go to Ikea tomorrow to help get a dozen bookcases for Godly Play, but I don't have to. Yay! Not having to go to Ikea on a Saturday feels like a gift right there. I'm still going over to the East Bay, though...there's a sample sale at a pajama company and they're selling extra fabric, so I want to go and get some cheap jammies and maybe some fun fabric for, um, whatever. It's fabric! Do I need a reason?
Then I'm meeting up with Jon and Ryan and Dennis in the evening and the four of us are going to a fabulous restaurant in Rockridge to enjoy a yummy dinner. I am hugely looking forward to this.
I also get to return to my own place this weekend after two weeks of house-and-kitty-sitting for someone from St. Ned's. It's been really nice, and the kitty is very sweet and has become my buddy, but it will be good to be back in my own room. For a few days, anyway, since I start another housesitting gig on Tuesday. Housesitting rocks. I get a dog with this one, yay!
Sunday I'll be in church, doing the same thing we do every week. (Try to take over the world! Oh, wait, that's Pinky and the Brain. Different.)
