Thursday, September 4, 2008 - Finally! UUGGHH! |
i can't believe it's already been a month since i've posted! i don't know what to start with...gosh....
well, since i don't have too much time, i'll do the most recent...WE GOT A FOSTER BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am SO excited! I'm not allowed to say her name....(it's too complicated to explain...) but I call her Little Woman! lol so she was born Thursday, August 21. We got her Saturday, August 23. For the first few days, Little Woman would sleep all day and stay awake all night! my mom didn't really like that. :-) i would take a 5:30 am shift until about 8 or 8:30. it's so adorable whenever we got clothes and stuff for her! on her first visitation with her mom and dad, we got a full trashbag of clothes and blankets for Little Woman! I couldn't believe it...maybe that means that they are gonna work for her? maybe? i dunno. we're probably gonna be hearbroken whenever she leaves, but we're gonna treat her like one of the family!
VBS was great to say the least. I could see God moving throughout the whole week! Every night before we went on stage, us four girls went backstage to get our hair done. it was great! Mrs. Diana (one of the adult dancers) brought colored hair spray, so we would do our hair wild and color it different every night! The Theme was "Power Lab". did any of you guys have VBS with that theme? i know you did, Nutmeg...you were there! lol
so my brother got to be the "mad scientist". he actually dyed his hair orange and red for the part! it's supposed to be semi-permanent....but since he highlighted his hair before he colored it, it's kind of permanantly strawberry blonde...it looks really good on him!
what was fun was that they did experiments every night, and one of them was dry ice and soap. the first time it didn't work, b/c they had gotten the dry ice the night before, and by the time they were gonna use it, it had almost completely evaporated. :-P they didn't check it before that night! lol so they did it agian the last night and it went better.
my job (along with Liz) was to teach the pre-schoolers a song after they listened to the story. all of the 5th and 6th graders were pre-school leaders, so i got to talk to all of them all night! that was fun! i had to get them motivated, though, to do the songs, since all of the pre-schoolers loved them! one in particular was hard...i won't say his name. :-) but me and his sister were trying to get him to dance and we just couldn't budge him! lol
The finale was great! I had to set the energy in the room, though. Since it was the last night, i thought, we might as well just go crazy. so on some of the songs, we were supposed to jump up every once ina while, and a few of the songs were really upbeat. so i made everyone jump almost the whole time we were singing! it was great. It was kinda funny b/c the pre-schoolers were running late, so when i got into the theater, they were already starting to sing! i couldn't get my mic on or anything, so i just sang and danced without one. i think they heard me good enough though. :-P lol
i need to go...i've got lots more to say but there's a homeschool picnic i'm going to and i have to get ready! ttyl!
Love,
Sunshine

A FOSTER BABY?????????????????? I am so jealous of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll get to see her sometime! You HAVE to send me some pictures.We had company (my great aunt and uncle with their cousin, grandaughter and her daughter (who is 10 months old)) so we had a baby for like 10 days over here. I just discovered how I love babies! I think she really liked mee also because whenever i would sit down, she would crawl over to me and want me to hold her or play. I mostly got stuck taking care of her, but it was fine for 10 days. I also tpretty much changed her diaper, but it was great...I got to learn how to take care of a baby. She is 10 months old, and she's so adorable!! She can crawl, and she's just learning how to stand up. I was really sad when they left on Tuesday, but I had a great time.
I'm just reading your e-mails.....and I'll try to write you a letter soon. Wait, is it my turn or yours? It doesn't really matter. hey did you get the card that I made that had hearts on the front? I have to go now...chores and things to do.
Love Your Friend,

About Me
I AM: a daughter of the King of kings. A garden locked up. not my own. bought with a price. a mirror for Christ. 13 years old. homeschooled. imaginative. loved. precious. a servant.
I LOVE: my Abba. music. hugs. close friends. the Word. using my imagination. giving out God's love and mercy. pouring myself out to others. journaling. playing piano. playing guitar. my Mama and Papa.
I WILL: give up my life for someone else. live overseas. roam the earth. adopt a child. die for Christ. fall in love.
I HATE: sin. lying lips. two-faced people. false modesty. blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
