pj party

As some of you may know, I’ve restarted the Sonshine club at church.  I’m in charge of activities for kids 3 years old- second graders.  We meet about once a month, do fun activities and get to know each other.  This Saturday we had a pj party.  But lets back up a bit.  Since the pj party started at 5:00, I left the house a bit before 4, thinking I had enough time to get to the church (only about 20 minutes away) and set up.  This didn’t quite happen the way I planned.  I left as planned, but once on the highway, the traffic came to a standstill.  We weren’t moving at all.  Me, being directionally handicapped, couldn’t even figure out where I was, and since I was in the truck, I had no GPS.  eeek!!  After about 1/2 an hour, we moved!  The CHP had blocked an on ramp and were directing cars to drive the wrong way up the on ramp to get off the highway.  A very strange feeling.  Once off   the highway, I knew where I was and was able to get to church.  All this time, Don was dealing with the kids. They had a busy morning at Happy Hollow and were totally zonked!  I ended up getting to church when we were supposed to be starting the party.  Some new kids showed up, they were rather rowdy.  We played games, topped pizza, ate, did some cute chalk pictures, and watched a movie. I was glad that other families were late getting to church also. While it was a totally chaotic time, I think everyone had fun. I am SO grateful for all the wonderful help from families.
