Just Doing My Part

So for Enrichment, we had this great evening planned focusing on Family Home Evening. There were skits and food, and then we were going to make these cute Family Home Evening boards. Great.

I went early to set up with Keren, my Enrichment counselor, who is fantastic. We put paper on the table where we will paint the boards. Keren suggests putting paper down under the tables. I reject the suggestion, saying no one is going to be so careless as to drip paint! I directly open a can of red paint and set it on the edge of the table. But there is no table under the paper, it's just sticking out into mid-air. The can of paint hits the floor sideways and explodes all over the carpeted floor. This is AFTER the clean-up.

This room is highly used. Thank you very much.

I think they might ask me to go to a different church. I totally understand.

That one definitely goes in the books! I'm a little confused how the paper was floating in mid-air?? I think Sister Wells should be in charge of making all future decisions about craft set-up.

ps - did you make a board for me??
(enough about you - what about me!)

Alisa - I just laughed water out of my nose after reading this. This is something I would have totally done! Good thing the building is getting a remodel shortly. The FHE boards are so cute - wish I could have made one!

I looked at it when I took Max to Scouts last night. The cultural hall looks like a murder scene.

I'm going to find some of that yellow police tape and cordon off the area. Maybe tape up posters seeking witnesses.

I think they'll have to move the Gospel Essentials class until the carpet gets torn up for the remodel. Don't want anybody to get the wrong impression.

I swear I only posted that once!

Alisa, I dare you to find the so-very-faint, teeny, tiny spot left on my blue shirt from the hug I gave to you on your infamous paint-the-world day. It's just barely visible enough for me to have a bit of your effervescent charm with me whenever I wear it. I wouldn't trade that teeny, tiny, barely-there badge for anything! And I challenge ANYONE to find it!

Do you think we can get approval to use your 'decoration' for one of those murder-mystery party/dinners before they tear out the carpet for the new hard-wood floor? I think Bill just volunteered to be the victim.
