On Sunday I got to help out in the nursery. Techincally, I was supposed to be the supervisor that hour. Informally, I got stuck in the back as a helper. Not bad though, I was needed and I was there:) So many cute kiddies - I think we had a head count of 15?
I called Fairfax County's Subbing Office on Tuesday. The guy I talked to was very nice and signed me up for the next available Substitute Orientation: April 22nd...... Whaa?? So that's just kind of frustrating knowing that I have a full month before I even get into orientation, after which the board probably approves the substitutes before they are able to work. Gaa. Oh well, at least I've got the ball rolling before the end of the year!
I only babysat twice this week. I got to take Lauren to aquatics and then to school. She turned 5 this week! I've known her since she was almost 2, so it's astonishing that's she grown that fast! She is such a cute cuddlebug and was very snuggly once she got out of the pool. Too bad she was soaking wet! The other babysitting fun was actually today. Marie, Beth, and I had a ball singing everything from"Fishy, Fishy" to "This Little Light of Mine." Sometimes with piano accompaniment! We then had a delicious dinner of mac and cheese, followed by brushing teeth, taking a bath, reading some stories, and getting tucked into bed. They are so cute and I can't wait to be with them again next weekend!
Tuesday Sean and I went to a Bible Study for "kids" our age - what a difference! Sean and I agreed when we finished just the worship that we would like to make this our Bible Study for now rather than my parents' studies. It was awesome to meet the leader, Mimi, as well as the others, and to see Anna and Alison again!
Thursday I met up with Cortney to crochet, and Sean came along for the ride. We drank coffee at Caribou and laughed about dorm times - Cortney was a few doors down from me during my last year on campus:) Hopefully this will be a weekly thing!!
My brother Sam had a JV Lacrosse game on Friday night, so Sean and I went with Mom to watch it. Silly me forgot that home teams sit in the shade! First day of spring was colder than the first day of winter! The wind was relentless and caused me to hide as deep as I could into my hoodie. Sean was a dear and bought some hot chocolate from the consession stand during halftime:) Hopefully next time we go, it'll be MUCH warmer!!
Yesterday I finished a blanket that I've been meaning to finish for 5+ years. It was originally for a cousin on my dad's side, but she's in K or 1st right now:P Shows how diligent I am with my projects;) Anyway, here's a picture of just before I finished it:
(Sizewise, I think it's going to be more for me than a newborn baby:) )
I am starting 2 more projects now that I thought would be fun. One is a baby blanket - doubled in width to make me a cozy lap blanket. My house will be filled with random blankets! The other is a stuffed animal if I can figure out the pattern correctly. I also have to go buy some yarn in order to do that - or maybe I'll check the attic for my plethora of yarn:)
Also, I have started to read the books from the library :) I got a bit preoccupied reading about the Glycemic Index Diet, which I'm hoping Sean and I will be able to do. It's not necessarily for me, because thanks to my speedy metabolism, I have horrible eating habits;) However, it's a very interesting read and encouraging! Anyway, I started reading "Good-bye, Mr. Chips" as well as "Men Without Women." Nothing like a good "new" book late at night while curling up in your blanket!! :)
Alright, tomorrow brings working in the nursery with Mom again! After that, it's Chipotle with the siblings - whoot!:)
