I have been so crazy busy lately! I am now in the primary presidency in my ward at church, and I was tasked at the beginning of the year to hold an 8 is Great or baptism preview for the kids who will be turning 8 this year and making the choice to be baptized. I drove myself crazy the weeks before getting all the details perfect. I made a baptism workbook for the kids with their name on it, and an information sheet for their parents on everything they would need to know to get their child baptized. It turned out so great! I was exhausted, the night before I stayed up ‘til 5:30 in the morning finishing details and then up at 7:30 for church. We sent out invitations to all the kids and their parents to come. I started the night with a baptism quiz for all the kids, then I had a little girl that I had been baptized last year give her experience, following which the Bishop did a mock interview. He was so cute and had all the kids go down to his office and sit in chairs all around his desk, and he told him the questions he would ask them in their baptism interview. Then he took them on a tour of the baptism font and even let the kids get down in the font – they thought it was the coolest thing ever!!! We finished up with a brief intro in the Faith in God program and Cub Scouts/Activity Days and had yummy 8 cookies and punch to finish out the evening. So glad that is over!!!
Next we have had the viruses that love to invade our home come back for a visit – seriously?!?! I’m so over this sick season, from the yucky, horrible cold we had to take Madeleine to urgent care for in November, Hand Foot and Mouth disease – the worst ever!, and now, as Madeleine calls it the pee pee poops, formerly the dee-ree-rahs, how fun for me. Especially when the pee poops decides to make a surprise appearance in the tub. How much longer ‘til spring?
In other randomness, I was helping Andrew do some things for work down in the basement (his new office) and he was motivated to do some wood work and called on his trusty assistant. Don’t let the video fool you, she was all about the drill press until she knew I wanted to video her doing it, that stubborn stinker! She eats it up being able to help her daddy. I sure do love this little family of mine!
