On Friday we had our PJ party at school. I just woke up and went to work and we made pancakes and watched movies it was awesome. Its been a really rough week with the kids becasue the children were wild because of the changing weather and we had not staff. I think I was the only one that showed up every day this week. We had one day where there was three subs and only two teachers. Sigh.. I wish people would show up if they are suppose too..
On the other hand my mom and dad are gone to calgary this weekend for my dad's Christmas Party and we have the house to ourselves. Its been fun. I don't remember if I told you about my Christmas party but it was fun. I took Michelle as my date and we went to the dinner theatre. It was amazing. It was a spoff of Pirates of the Carribeen and the main character looks exactly like Jack it was amazing. The food was pretty good and the company was not to bad.
On monday I am going to a Mary-Kay foot spa party. Michelle's friend she went to Peru with is going on a mission with her church for a year and a half so we are going to see her for the last time and play dutch blitz with her. She won't be able to phone or email or text anybody while she's gone and the only form of communicate she is allowed is letter writing so hopeful Michelle will keep contact with her.
So thats my weekly news. Bye bye Y'all

Potluck
Tonight is our fall potluck that we have before the congragational meeting. It should be fun we are having a person from the Pregnancy Councelling Centre coming in to talk to us about all they do to help mothers and babies. I am just waiting for the potatoes to finish cooking so I can finish the shepards pie I am making. It smells so good I can't wait to dig into it!
We carved "reformation day" pumpkins last wednesday. We had been waiting for all of us to be together to do it but our schedules never allow us to be together at the same time so just Amanda and I carved the pumpkins. I did a lovely little bird and Amanda did some feathers around her pumpkin. Both turned out very well but I can't show you the pictures because it is taking to long to download them onto the computer. Michelle has drawn out her picture but she just has to carve it. She is doing Martin Luther's house :-P
On Sunday I got a surprise. I learned that the Christmas concert for the children is going to be on Dec. the 5th. We hadn't even started the planning and now we have to get the children to memorize the songs in under 3 weeks. Yikes. So we took out a video of the first ever Christmas concert and watched it to get ideas and I must say we are soooo cute. It takes place in 1994 and Shauna is the youngest person there and she is 2. All she does is stand there and look super cute (for once in her life). She is like 10 steps behind every one in the actions and little Jermeny Vankampen kept giving her the dirtiest looks. It was really cool to see all the people in our youth group look so cute and what our parents looked like from back then. We really wanted to show clips of the video for the people to see everyone 15 years ago but I don't think we would be able too. I think that we are going to video tape ours and put it in the church library so that when these kids grow up they can see how cute they are.
Anyway so I have a lot of typing and photocopying to do and I have to get a hold of a lot of people about the Christmas concert so I better get going. Hopefully I can pull this off! TTYA later!!

Rain Rain Go Away
It hasn't snowe here in Edmonton yet but we are just holding our breath waiting for the first snowflakes to grace us with there appearance. Instead today it rained, which I almost think is worse. Luckily it cleared up enough for us all to out for recess today so the kids could burn off a little energy. I started to attempt to crochet but I really have to keep practicing, I'm not very good. Hopefully I willbe able to make a blanket or something cool like that one day. Every tuesday our church has a volleyball game and I was really looking forwards to going this week but it turns out I have to work which really sucks. Anyway this was just a short blog to make Jolene happy. hahaha. Just joshing. I need the reminders Jo otherwise I would never remember to do it. I will do a better post later!
