NOT Just Another Mom

Okay! My husband and I did it...we actually survived the many weeks of Alpha at Markham Woods Presbyterian. I must say that I think my husband got more from this experience than I did, (if that's possible) but I took in a great deal, learned new things, and met some GREAT people in the process. I learned things about God and Christianity that I never understood as well as opened doors to new concepts that I still have questions about. Pastor Joe was a great leader in our small group sessions and I was in awe of my husband as he opened up in front of complete strangers ( no- you don't have to, but it was a wonderful feeling to hear his thoughts for once). I became a little closer to him (even though he may not realize it) in the process and I am excited to continue my passage on this new journey in life.

Okay- so this is Week One (Arts and Crafts). I must admit that my kids are having a blast. I mean really enjoying themselves and getting up and ready to go in the mornings. So far in the first two days they have made paper mache' animals, an art journal for daily drawing, and plaster of paris masks. My son was bragging about his snake that he made and how he wants to paint it. My daughter created a horse! Imagine that...and today when they did the plaster of paris, they actually let the teachers put vaseline on first, then saran wrap, then the plaster strips. Can you believe MY son staying still long enough for the plaster to harden on his face no less??? He hasn't stayed still that long in a long time. On Friday, they had an art show that displayed all of their hard work. Parents of the little ones and the older ones were amazed at how much they did this week. They have learned alot and I'm sure this will be an experience for them to remember! Congrats MWPC!
