Saturday is usually a lazy day at our house. MT watches TV and I sleep in A win – win situation We try to spend some time outside as well, so this we did this day too. MT had fun practicing his snow board skills and I walked around taking photos. Too bad it was a little dim in the afternoon, so all of my photos needs to be lighted a bit I think. But this one (above) wasn’t too bad; I love MT’s expression!

Another early morning, I had a meeting with some fellow youth workers to plan our annual Confirmant night with soccer, games, devotions, concert and more. It’s quite the happening and it takes some planning for sure! After that I went to work trying to fasten the loose ends after our parents meeting last night.

MT have become quite the carpenter lately (due to this Christmas gift from our friends and his good parents). It’s so much fun watching him trying to figure it out and to see a bright smile when he finally is able to get the nail hammered in place It’s hard, though, so it’s a steep learning curve.

I was a bit worried about the car this morning, since it was quite early. But it started and I was only my usual 7 minutes late for staff meeting. I really don’t do early morning meetings that well, to be honest: I try to avoid them

In the evening I had confirmant parents meeting – and that is always a scary thing It went okay, though. MT got to spend some more time with our new neighbors and stayed with them while I was at the meeting. How nice is that!!

We didn’t manage to get the ginger bread house build as planned this Christmas. We opened it up on Tuesday and MT had some fun trying to build with the kit, decorate AND EAT; it was after all the 13th day of Christmas(!) It’s still sticky in my house from all the icing

This morning our car started, at first try, without even acting like there should be a problem. I think this is a car with personality too; I usually end up with such cars Anyway, it’s going to the garage on Friday for some service, so we’ll see if they can find anything out of order.

Today we invited our new neighbor with kid. It was fun to get to know them a bit better and even though the mother is a lot younger than me we had some common ground coming from the same area and all. MT is so glad to have a 5 year old neighbor, hopefully they can become good friends and have much fun togheter.
