Mini-Update

Hey!

You've probably noticed I'm really bad at naming my blog posts.....ok...OT....

Anywho, Yesterday was a lot of fun in a weird way.

I stayed home all day and did school till about 3pm.  I was kinda bored so I got on the computer....made hot coco (yes, even though its BEAUTIFUL out!:P)...and sewed up my sisters dress. It used to be my dress, I got it at a yard sale last year - its really to big, wide in the waist so I passed it down to Millie.  Of course it was way to big for her, but she loved the dress (cause its long, white with yellow, pink, light pink and orange hearts all over - very valentiny) so I took in the waist so its fits her now.  The neck line was really 'tightish' (too close to her neck - not that cute....) so I took that in and hemmed it and stuff.  After that, I was kinda on a roll.  I decided to make her a skirt too. I got some really cute white fabric and measured her waist and cut out a skirt.  I cut elastic out too and pinned it all up.  BUT I don't know how to thread a sewing machine.  Our isn't threaded so I have to wait for my mom to help me.  She's been really busy lately so she hasn't had the chance.  But when I'm done sewing on it, I'm going to cut out some cute yellow, blue, green, purple and pink fabrics and designs some flowers and butterflies on the skirt - so thats exciting. Oh, this is the FIRST time I haven't used a pattern so thats is even MORE exciting - yay me...

Yeah, so today I was gone from 8:20am-12pm babysitting for Tuesday morning bible study at my church.  It was actually really fun - Millie and I (with a college student) took care of the three year old room.  We mostly played but had snack and circle time.  Since the college student who helped wasn't a Christian, I read the bible story, took prayer requests, and talked about God and the story.  I read the 'Jesus Feeds the 5,000 story - it was really fun.  I did make a mistake though.  I gave them snack WHILE we had circle - BAD IDEA.  For one, when I try to discuss/talk with them(their already hard to understand cause their little), their mouths are filled with food and you can't understand a thing they say.  Second, they are interrupting a lot asking for, 'MORE' - of course.  So when I took prayer requests I heard a lot of, "Please pray for mydfjahjfkhdkjhlk and hjdfgauywiuhj blahblah" so yeah that was hard.  So I did a lot of, "Father, please bless these children and their families and friends!" Which isn't bad, I just thought it was kinda funny!  

Oh, and we (it was my idea - again 'yay me'....im kidding!)made valentine (hearts) cards for their moms and family/friends.  That was really fun!  I really hope (I'm going to be going and helping out at this thing for a while) that some of the Bible stories we read will help lead Yea Lang (idk if i spelled that right) to Christ - that would be really amazing.

Also, today I went to the Orthodontist to get my braces colors changed - fun fun....and then I went to A.C Moore and got some supplies for scrapbooking.  They are having a 40% off sale for all scrapbook paper!! So that was fun.....

Tomorrow is Karis Winters funeral.  I'm babysitting for the funeral (at the church) cause there is going to be a lot of people there.  I really wanted to go to the actual funeral but God wants to use me helping with children so thats fine...

See you guys later!!
