busy week

This week has been a very busy week - a good week, but a busy week. Monday night we were actually at home, but we had some sorting work to do. We were going through a box of books and in it was an old book from Doug's dad. I opened it up and found the original document for the sale of the Little League field in Joplin. Who knows what his dad was doing with it in a book, but we found it. Doug made a phone call and we found out where to mail it. It was a document on thin paper, typed on a typewriter, dated sometime in 1953. Wow! Good thing we went through that box. Now the paper is back in the proper hands.

Tuesday night we had the Messiah Sing Along at Church. We have hosted this city wide event for 19 years. They bring in soloists and instrumentalists and we sing through the Christmas parts of the Messiah, ending with the Alleluia Chorus. Wow! What an awesome evening. A person leaves there with a floaty feeling. Emily joined in on the Alleluia chorus - and really did well. She knows the Alto part very well for a 10 year old.

Wednesday night was Church. The Choir/Bells served the Advent meal, so after I had study hall for the boy's basketball team, I headed down to help serve the meal.

Tonight was a basketball game for Emily & then bells and choir. Michael also had scouts.

So - tomorrow night will seem nice to stay home. It will be nice to have no place to go. I suppose we will have movie night - but probably not pizza, as the kids had pizza for lunch today, we all had pizza for dinner (concessions at the bball game) and the kids will have pizza for lunch tomorrow. So - I will have to actually cook something instead of our usual pizza night .
