Now that Thanksgiving is over (several days ago), I think I can get back to a normal sort of schedule. December is always a pretty crazy month though! Added to the usual busyness of this month is that we are moving into the new sanctuary at church and having our first Sunday service there on the 5th! We attend a church that has a congregation of over 3000 people attending every Sunday. The logistics of that kind of move is pretty crazy, but I know that we have some really great organized people in charge of it. I had the opportunity to go over Tuesday evening to help move some of the stuff around for the new classrooms and the two new nurseries in the new building. I helped assemble a couple cribs. Most of all the older stuff had to stay where it was for one last Wednesday night service.
Randy works with the production team doing stuff with the sound equipment. Sorry, I can't give detail about that because I really have no clue how to do any of that stuff. Last night at the Wednesday service, in the old sanctuary, we didn't have all the equipment because some of it had been moved to the new building. Randy was there until almost midnight with the worship team, helping set and hook everything up. Tonight they have a training with the professionals to make sure they all know how to run it.
We are also going from having 5 children's classrooms to having 10! Sunday morning is going to be interesting getting all the kids in the right places. We are also going from having 3 services to having 2! Every other Sunday I volunteer in the toddler class but since we are changing all the classes around, I'll be switching to the one year old class. The room I was in before will be used by the 2-3 year olds now and Chloe will be moving back into that class. I really want her to have some independence from me and church is pretty much the only time that happens. It just happens that all this change is taking place on my Sunday off so I will only be part of the 9:30 am service. Maybe things will be more settled by the second Sunday when I volunteer again! :-)
On another note, Dad and Janet are here for the week. They are staying down at the Island (South Padre Island) and we will be going down to see them Friday night. Chloe and I got to see them at the Flea Market yesterday when we went to visit Mom at her fried pie booth. But it will be nice to just sit down and visit tomorrow night.
Ok, well since I typed that last sentence, Chloe woke up, we made waffles and ate them, I unloaded the dishwasher and reloaded it, and Chloe is watching an episode of The Little Einsteins. I guess we need to get on with our day. I'll probably play at least one round of Flylady Bingo (The Flylady on Facebook) and do some homeschooling with Chloe. Later today I'll make a grapefruit pie to take with us when we go see Dad and Janet tomorrow...
