Children's Church

All of us Eichelbergers (that still live under the same roof) help with children's church when it's our week in the rotation. Thus, we have been named, The E-Team. We each have a job. I start with songs, then my brother and my dad have a puppet show for the kids, my mom then has a lesson. Finally we have crafts, and if there's still time...a game or two.

Harry Potter

I'm taking a course by the Teaching Company called, "The Art of Reading". I absolutely love it. We talk about the authors, the narrators, the writing style and how that lets you see into the minds of the characters....Then there's story vs. plot. All good stuff! All this is to say, I thought I liked Harry Potter before...now it's the "subject of common interest" (a quote from the book, "Cheaper by the Dozen". If you haven't read it, pick it up! It's excellent. So many laughs!) Whew! I'm a bit long winded today.

Smooch!

The piggie was really cute! Except for the umbilical cord that was hanging out...blech

I've lost my marbles

Have you seen the movie, Hook? With Robin Williams? And Tootles goes around on his hands and knees "looking for his marbles"?

[Pointy] things go [poke] in the night

This one took for-e-ver...for-e-ver...for-e-ver......Has anyone seen the Sandlot or do I just look like a doofus right now?

Chopsticks

I love chopsticks. If I could eat soup with chopsticks, I would! So when i saw a beautiful wooden set at the kitchen kitchen store...I had to have them. Just had to.

But all she had was a bit of Raspberry Cordial... - Anne Shirley

Anne of Green Gables has always been one of my favorites and she's just so funny! Anyway, the song in this tangle that I've quoted is my newest favorite! It's called Countdown by Josh Preston and I got it free off Amazon. It's kinda a silly song in that I don't actually know what it's talking about....but it's pretty :)
