Primary Quarterly Activity...

Life had gotten a little stressful this last week; building toward our quarterly activity and other weekend festivities. We did a 'Breakfast in Bethlehem' theme - fed the kids a pancake breakfast, did a christmas 'star activity and ornament - and then practiced for the nativity that the primary will be doing for the ward christmas party. I felt like i delegated fairly well - my 2nd counselor was in charge of the activity and ornament, we tag-teamed breakfast, my 1st counselor had taken care of gathering costumes, and i was in charge of our quick and dirty scenery (bed-sheets with the scenery chalked on them) What we hadn't planned on was the reception planned for that evening had decorated the entire gym (including the last section that we needed.) Even though we had talked explicitly to each person involved in the reception, being explicit as to our needs. Anyway, we ended up using up all our prep-time moving out their elaborate tables and centerpieces into the other 2/3rds of the gym so we could have the kids practice the nativity in the section they'd be performing in.
All went well in the end (it always does), but it was still a bit of a stress; i did manage, however, to slip in a practice with a girl i am accompanying tomorrow in sacrament - i was VERY happy we got to do that, as i discovered several areas where the piano music was not truly centered on the staff - the notes being neither line or space notes but somewhere between; now i have to figure out when i am going to find time to re-write those sections amidst making a birthday cake for C, decorating for her birthday, and planning my sharing time for tomorrow. Oh, and Marke is out hunting for black-powder weekend today - so in between all that, i'm monitoring munchkins.
I think i'm ready for another break.
