The preschool kids performed at church today, all six classes of them. They sang six songs and played handbells to one extra song. Every time I chanced looking away from my class to see Dennis, he was singing every word and smiling. But I couldn't look away too often--six of my two year olds were busy on the front row, staring, playing hide-and-seek by ducking down behind the altar rail and then popping up, waving to their parents, or, in one case, bopping another child with a bell at random, clearly premeditated intervals. I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to watch the video.
David installed our "chimney" tonight, cutting the hole in the roof for the metal pipes that extend up from our fireplace unit. Naturally, it started to rain just a tiny bit after he finished, and he has more roof work to do around the pipe, but we stayed dry. Soon he'll cover the rest of the enclosure with cement board and then we'll put on the slate tiles! He has already hung our stockings from the mantel, a fact that delighted Dennis, who happily praised his Daddy for installing Santa's gateway to our home. We are all getting excited about it!
Dennis caught Neely the Elf hiding in the refrigerator in the box of Capri-suns that we put in his school snack boxes. And tonight, we had to make a special bed for Neely out of a camp pillow and a basket. Dennis fixed him a snack and tucked him in before having the same done for him. It's been such a nice, quiet, home weekend that we hate to see it end!
