Someone teach that kid...
...to not lean back on a stool without a chairback. A child at small group tonight (which will remain nameless, though her name rhymes with the 2nd and 3rd sylabbles of "dilemma"), leaned back on a piano bench not remembering it had no back, and plummeted to the ground, hitting the piano on the way down.
-Sigh-
Tonight was a mix of mellow music, good food (lasagna), good laughs, and a rather large group of toddlers and children of various ages running around. So, you can imagine - on the one hand, we had a good time celebrating Wendy's birthday (H.B., Wendy...), watching a pretty nifty Peter Gabriel music DVD, and scoring some free CD dupes from Scott. On the other hand, all the kids running around made the night feel a bit like a cross between the mellow atmosphere of Macaroni Grill combined with the chaos of any of those playgrounds in front of countless McDonald's.
Dang, we missed having Jordan's babysitting skilz tonight. J-mo bugged out early, apparently having his 'fill' of noisy toddlers.
Still, it was fun...and it's tough to blame kids for being kids, even if they tried to kill each other (accidentally) by wildly swinging Mardi Gras beads all over the place...
In other news...
Church this morning went well, too. We managed to capture a degree of energy in the room which can be elusive. Our number of guests outnumbered the number of regulars this morning, too, which, like most things today, is both cool and sad. Come on, people...where ya been??
After church, we headed to Logans...we being Stacey, myself, J-mo, Kyle, Eric, Wendy, the Spooner family, and a few other regular family members and young-uns.
Stacey starts her new job tomorrow...FINALLY!! She'll be working as a pharmacist at Personal Touch healthcare... It's the kind of job with the kind of hours she's been wanting for years, so that's very cool. She'll get to be home in the evenings and have weekends off.
REPEATABLE QUOTES:
"I can't go in the water or it drys out." (relax...it was a referal to a certain naval body piercing...but when overheard out of context, we were like..."what??")
J-mo: "Jack's daughter sings."
Jack: "And she harmonizes."
Me: "You sing?"
Her: "No."
"Dave, is it wise to hand out rocks to your congregation before you preach?"
