dyk 16yo hockey players wouldn't even have noticed the tackiness of the bars
dyk at that age and hunger level it doesn't stay one place long enough on its way to their stomachs for them to notice anything that might not be normal
dyk and then they'd only notice if it's something they've had before and it was really off
dyk and I did not get any cards made ahead of time b/c I cannot find the xmas pictures
dyk and I am tired and upset, and half crying about this stupid school stuff
dyk and there is a pile of laundry on my bed and I'm hungry
dyk and I am overly anxious about our servolution tomorrow - what if we can't make enough cards, or we can't stay on schedule, or the kids don't do well at the nursing center?
dyk okay, I made 20 cards - just simple cardstock or matte board in various sizes and shapes with a few christmas foam stickers and I wrote Merry Christmas on there
dyk so the younger kids can color and draw on them to personalize
dyk and the older kids are going to be turned loose with paper, scissors, stickers and crayons
dyk all the stuff is ready for tomorrow, the kids outfits are out, the cards are premade, the baked goods are ready for both my small group ladies and Sean's coworkers
dyk both kids asleep and sleeping soundly
dyk dogs fed (we have my sister's black lab here b/c he can't be inside at my parents - he's wild, so we keep him in the back with Shiloh)
dyk and I am going to try and convince Sean to rub the sore spot on my back
dyk oh, here's another Deklan quip - the quip of the day
dyk this morning the kids were trying to wake Ellie up to feel her and Dek said, I hope you clean her off when she comes out, b/c it's all gooey in there.
dyk LOL it is pretty gooey I'm sure - but how did HE Know that? hahaha
dyk we have no idea what wealth of information his brain has stored!
dyk okay, I'm off for the night, hopefully I'll be able to check in in the morning, but if not, I will when our project is done and will of course have pictures!
dyk the only thing I didn't do was make a list of xmas songs that I know since I think I have been nominated to be in charge of the singing! Eeeeek!! I mean, la, la, laaaaaaaaaaaaa!
DYK even if you don't have enough cards, and even if a few kids are acting up, I'm sure the overall happiness the residents will experience at having some young visitors will make up for it?
DYK food for thought...if your group is looking for a good recurring service event....when my kids were younger and I was in a Mom's Group, once a month (set scheduled time) we'd go to one of the nursing/assisted living facilites and the kids would do a craft with the residents.
