Back here, we were celebrating in a different way. Lucas was invited to a birthday party for 3 year old twin who live in our building. This meant that half the parking lot and grass area was covered with a large marquee/tent thing. As I've said before, birthday are a very big thing here and some go to great expense. Lucas wasn't really sure what to do, so kept trying to escape, until he saw someone bringing food. He followed her around until he got some. He finished the evening pretty exhausted.
On Wednesday, we had the mums and tots group again, in part to try and encourage the mums to go to the ladies retreat this coming week-end. We had a good turn out and an enjoyable time together. The leaders of the ladies meeting have had a busy time organizing the retreat. I'm in charge of the money as I'm the treasurer for the group. This is a somewhat frustrating job as not very many people have paid for the retreat but we have to pay the camp the whole lot. We also are not sure how many will actually show up on the day but have to give an exact number ahead of time. It's strange being on this side of things after working at Guelph Bible Conference Grounds for several years and having to deal with groups changing numbers until the last minute. There are still lots of last minute things needing to be done so this will be a busy week.
Next time.... report on retreat!
