Sun, cornstarch, and a bonfire in June

This is gonna be one major post, so hang tight everybody.

Ok. So yesterday we went to church early because Dad did the music, so they had to practice. This also meant that we had to stay for both services, which we did anyway because I had a fundraiser afterwards. So the first service I sat with my family and the second with my friends. Actually I went down to the nursery to see if they needed any help, but there were three kids and three workers, so they were fine.

After church we had a fundraiser. This was the fundraiser where we bring a lunch and go to Cleveland to hang door flyers. It, was so, hot. This was from 1:45 to 3:45, pretty much the hottest part of the day. Fortunately the neighborhood was a lot smaller than it looked on the map, so it was only 2 hours instead of three, because we ran out of flyers. And the streets were short, so we got picked up by our roving red van pretty often, to get water and cool off a bit. It was so hot I thought I was going to get heat stroke or something. But I was well protected by a hat, sunglasses, and SPF 50. I don't even have a tan from yesterday.

After the fundraiser, we went to swift's house for a bonfire. Uh huh. But it was pretty far away from the food and people, so it wasn't bad at all. Except when we were roasting our hot dogs, marshmallow, pie thingys (correct me on that one) and ourselves. We had a water balloon fight, which took about 2 minutes, a water balloon fight, which took about half that--B got soaked. She was mad as a wet hen for about 10 minutes. We played a game where you hold a bat up in the air instead of on the ground, and look at it, and spin 30 times, run over to these 9x13 pans of cornstarch and water. It was the weirdest stuff. It was white and hard if you pushed hard and soft if you just let your hands sink into it. You had to find a penny or 2 paperclips and run back to tag the next person. When it was my turn, swift yelled, "spin faster, you're a dancer" (at least I think it was swift, I didn't really have my wits about me at the time). Swift, dancers spot. That means you look at a spot on a wall, not up in the air. But I did think, "oh yeah, I am a dancer. I can keep my feet under me." And then I tried to run to the right, because I could tell I was veering to the left. I think I ran pretty straight. It took me forever to find a penny though.

Then we just stood around and talked. Kristin, the person who is taking us girls to LT, was there. She brought iluvccrunners. It was a fun day.

Then I was sooooooooo tired. When I didn't have all these people around me talking and moving I was soooooooooooooooooo tired. So I told my family about my day, they told me about their day, and we went to bed.

Then ---ok, I need to stop it with the then thing! Sheesh! The phone rang with news that my great grandma passed away that evening, so this week is going to be insaner than it was going to be anyway. She was 85 and 10 months or so. It was really good timing, though, because someone in the family is going to be gone at some time from the second week of July to about the second week of August. Prayer needed, especially for my grandma. As far as I know. And that things go smoothly and everyone trusts God to work things out if they don't. We're singing at the funeral. Here goes.

See what I mean about a major post? I think I can probably go through the whole rainbow. We'll see. I hope no one wears black at my funeral. I'd rather have bright colors. Obviously.
