Just reading

We had a very leisurely day. In truth, we spent most of the day reading! Had to get the bulletins done this morning, but that was all by way of church duties. The boys occupied themselves well, Caleb was making things on bits of string, and Aaron paged slowly through a Thunderbird library book. Aaron can spend hours by himself looking at the pictures in books and catalogues, and Caleb loves drawing and cutting and making. Lunch was supposed to be pre-prepared lasagna which I had defrosting, which didn’t defrost in time for lunch, so we had it for supper instead and “mletzzas” for lunch (this is a pizza-type omelette). We left home at 1.45 for the Sandy Bay chapel, and by the time we got there it was almost packed. The boys sat quite well during the service, Aaron particularly who was very pleased with himself and the fact that he didn’t even suck his fingers, and that he listened to God and not the devil because he obeyed. Caleb found the bookshelf uncomfortable to sit on (so did I, I’m sure my back is bruised), so he sat cross-legged on the floor instead and listened. After the sermon, he could tell us two things he learned – that Jesus had friends, and he learned about Martha (Nick preached from John 11 – Lazarus’s death). Glad that he is starting to listen. After getting home and having coffee and donut sticks, we put a video on for the boys (we gave them an option of making a craft or watching a video), so Nick and I went upstairs and continued reading. I’m reading the second novel in the series, which I’m sure Nick’s going to want to read soon because it follows on after the first one, same characters.
