party!!

time to update the blog. yesterday..we woke up at 5 am to make breakfast for the sheridan staff. we made lots and lots of muffins and cinnamon rolls. then we went back to sleep. haha. when we got up, we spent time researching the laws of mississauga. yes..i know..this sounds cheesy, but we wanted to make sure we don't get arrested in canada. so we got the lowdown on parks and whats allowed. then last night we headed over to the porter's for some more Jesus-time! it was great. we talked about falling more in love with Jesus. can be a challenging task..its easy to fall in love with the Word, and with the ideas of Jesus, not with Him. it was a good lifeGathering.

after lifeGathering, the verbeeks took us over to the oakville recreation center where we got to watch bruce play hockey!!! it was very exciting. but sadly, we only got to watch about 20 minutes of play time. of course we cheered as loud as possible, even though we were just about the only audience. it was great. after their game was over, a younger, more energetic group took the ice. as we waited for bruce to come out, we watched the pros play hockey. haha.

this morning, we got up, packed up the cooler full of freezies and headed to our "chosen" park. this park is called floradale park, and it is really close to square one (a big shopping mall in mississauga). when we got there..there were only about 5-6 kids. we gave them all freezies and decided to wait around, hoping more kids would come, and spreading the news about our "mini-block" party tomorrow. quite a few more kids drifted in and out, and team habakkuk felt really good about the number of kids we gave freezies out to, and the number of parents we got to tell about the block party. i anticipate quite a few kids! which is very exciting.

we stopped by brett's to pick up some balloons, balls, and other fun stuff for the party. on the way home, we practiced making balloon animals, hats, and swords. i think its gonna turn out to be a very fun day tomorrow.

so i'm headed to bed, anxious about playing with kids tomorrow, since that is what i did all last summer and i'm really missing it now! pray for the kids and their parents we will come in contact with tomorrow. then tomorrow night..bible study at UTM. yay!
