JT activity (in the rain:D)

Yesterday we had a JT activity at the park. It was supposed to be super sunny but it started raining so we went under a sheltered area with picnic tables. We had inspiration, then Uncle Simon read Matthew 25 and Andre, Eman, and Marieanne acted it out in a very funny skit:D. Then some people went to play soccer in the rain, but the rest of us stayed under the sheltered area and played a game. The game we played was where one person stands in the middle and the rest of the people sit around them in a circle. The person in the middle then says something that they've never done (for example, "I've never been on an airplane", or "I've never eaten Australian food"). The people who have done that have to jump up and switch seats, and the person in the middle has to try to take someone's seat. If only one person gets up, then they just switch. Then after that some of us girls were trying to find a bathroom. Oh, the first place we went into was a school, and we were a couple of feet away from the entrance of the bathroom, when this janitor lady comes up to us and says,"What are you doing here? Who are you with?" Marieanne replied that we just wanted to use the bathroom. "Well," the lady replied. "This is a private function. YOU'RE TRESPASSING!!! This is a religious mosque. You'd better leave right now!" (when she said 'you're trespassing' she didn't shout) So we left in a hurry:P. We finally found a bathroom after about 15 minutes of walking around searching for one. Then we went back to the sheltered area and we had hamburgers for dinner. Then we had vanilla ice cream in ice cream cones and cookies for dessert:P. Then we went home. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Movie Night and Sunday

On Saturday night we watched "For Richer or Poorer" for our movie, and we had punch and chocolate ice cream. The next morning, I slept in till 12:15 or something. Then I went downstairs but everyone had already eaten so there were no more pancakes left, and I had to make my own. So for an hour I cooked, ate, and washed my dishes. The kids all went to a place called "Sugar Bush", "Maple Shack", and it might have had another name. Anyways, so Vince and I went out for a walk in the sunny, slightly windy 15 above zero weather. Then we got home and I played Civilization III for an hour and something minutes. Then I came upstairs and posted. All the adults except for Eman are out. Actually, Dad might be home but I'm not sure. They went to Robin's birthday party (he's turning 8). Anyways, I have to go now. Bye!

Family Birthday pics.......

Here are (a couple of) the long-awaited Family Birthday Party photos!!!!!!! (These I got from other people's blogs, as I wasn't able to get my hands on the one from the cameras yet. They're on my mom's computer, and right now the adults are having a meeting, and she's using her computer. That about sums up my situation. But don't worry, this is only part one of the photos. There'll be a bunch more.) Well, anyways, here goes!

My smile isn't too weird....
Oh I love you Carmel!

The food was SUPER good

And that's it for now! Hang on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen, for the continuation (the rest of the photos) will come very soon!

Fun!

Last night me and Katrina decided to bake something, but we didn't have any eggs, margarine, and only enough milk for breakfast. So we found a cake recipe that didn't call for any of those things. As we were mixing the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, Katrina tasted it and asked,"Did you put the 2 cups of sugar?" To my horror I realized I hadn't! So we quickly added it. Then we watched "Never Been Kissed" for our weekly movie. The cake turned out yummy. Oh, I just realized that I got visits from Europe, Brazil, and the Philippines. Probably from the links in Chris&Tete's blog or Marianne's blog.
