First day of Sunbeams

Today was the first day of SUNBEAMS for both Ellie and I. Ellie has been so excited to go to primary with the "big kids" and when Dusty asked her about church she said, "oh you know Daaad. It was good. We just sung song and talked and played with stickers and toys and I sat with Jordan." Dusty then asked, "what songs did you learn?" Ellie replied, "oh just happy birthday. UM. and Jesus loves me" (which we didn't sing nor was it the lesson....kids...at least it's in the same religious theme?!?)

Sunbeams went better than I thought it was going to. I figured the first day was going to be a complete write off because a) the kids didn't know what was going on b) they didn't REALLY know me and c) I didn't know how much I should plan for them BUT I was impressed. I survived and I only tried to give Ellie a time-out once when I realized I was a teacher and not a parent! The kids (all 5 of them) LOVED doing their sticker craft (which turned out pretty cute... I'll post a pic of it later). I was also fairly impressed that I sang, " I am a child of God" without any music and I managed to sing it in only a semi-untune note.

Oh and to top off an already semi-successful day, the roast we had for supper was AWESOME!
