Normal Life

Back to normal life! We're back at our normal church, Troy United Methodist, and back to our normal routine. (Do I use the word ‘normal’ too much?) :) We sang in the early service about an hour ago, and will do so again at the 10:30 service in about an hour and a half. We don't all have our complete uniforms on, and we think we might have left Cecily's and Gloria's shirts in Montana. This morning Knut thought that he found his shirt in his drawers, but when we got to church he realized that it was Papa's. He must have really been sleepy when he put it not to have noticed how big it was! Thor's pants are also extremely dirty; apparently he was playing in the sandbox and sitting on the dirt pile yesterday. :)
Yesterday at the CCC lemonade stand we made $13.05 to go to the Troy food pantry, and $10.00 to go to the Mascoutah food pantry. We also had a bake sale, and that money we divided among all the helpers.

As for the rest of our school week, it went well. A little crazy perhaps, but I think that despite our groans about having to get up at the same time every morning, we're all glad to be back to normal. (There I go again with 'normal'!) We didn't clean house yesterday like we normally usually do on Saturday, so you'll have to wait one more week to read about the system we use to clean our big house.
