Halloween is coming up so fast. I was in charge of deciding what to do for 'family night' on Monday... we carved pumpkins. Since I'm poor (lol) I bought 1 pumpkin for Katherine and I, and 1 pumpkin for the boys. We had a good time competing against one another to win the contest. Katherine and I had a pretty good version of Snow White on our pumpkin and the boys decided to carve Steve (one of the people we work with at New Life Covenant Church) It was pretty hilarious. In the end, even Steve, voted for Snow White and we won the contest :)
On Saturday we will be holding the annual block party in the community garden. This will be a time of games, costumes, food, and lots of people! I'm looking forward to see what's in store (although I heard the the Mission Year Teams always end up in the pie booth)!
Yesterday at SAY Yes! I was working with Elias, as usual. He was extra energetic yesterday and hilarious to watch. He told me that I had to have the password to look into his backpack. When I couldn't guess he yelled "it's 712893"! haha. I don't know where he comes up with these things. Later as we worked on his homework he was munching on some candy he had received at school. I couldn't help but laugh as he reached into his pocket and pulled out three unwrapped sweet tarts and told me I could have the last ones. So generous and unaware that its weird to give people unwrapped candy from your pocket. haha. I love that little guy and am so glad that I get to work with him on a daily basis.
Again at SAY Yes!: The kids were all sitting down to eat dinner. I was eating with Mckenzy and Naomi. Mckenzy is in 3rd grade and Naomi is in 6th. Mckenzy started asking if I had any children. When I said no she said "are you married?" When I told her I wasn't she just looked at me with a weird face and said... "you should probably get married!" She was dead serious too! Oh the joys of working with little kids!
Well, I'm sitting here at the church typing up this entry but it's time to go print off the bulletin and run some errands... Til Next time!!!!!!
