Just dropped in to say hello....!

Whoo-hoo! No, being Cub Master is not killing me. We just had our Blue & Gold. Weird being in charge of something like that, and actually doing nothing (except to bring a water cooler full of ice water as assigned by my food committee chair...[I always picture a chair]...er..person). Okay, so I also conducted the meeting (child's-play). Still, weird. Weird to delegate and let others be in control of all the different committees.

I do really miss being the Primary Chorister, but not to an obsessed level. Mostly I miss how I am fading into the world of anonymous adults at church. I miss how the little ones used to run up to me with hugs or a picture they drew. Now they look at me tilting their heads as their parents carry them down the long hall, with a look in their eyes as if they have the fringes of a memory of some crazy lady doing the granny dance...somewhere... Just as I think they are going to bury their sleepy Sacrament Meeting eyes into their daddy's neck, I am recognized and a little smile appears. Mmmm-hmmmm. That's a great feeling.

I'd love to hear from you. Comment and tell me how much fun you are having!

Christmas Flipcharts

Hey Everyone! 
Happy Holidays! 

Merry Christmas! 
Feliz Navidad!

Here's the flip charts I have for Christmas:

When Joseph Went to Bethlehem

 Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus

Take a look at what the flip charts look like here.
Have fun!

P.S. Cub Master is, in fact, fun. :)

Two Words:

Cub. Master.
Or is it one big word? CUBMASTER. See?! I don't even know and I am a little freaked out about it.

Seriously?

Anyway, I'll be sustained Sunday and I don't know where to begin.

I know I have to go to the scout website and get certified or trained or something. I know I have to organize and conduct the monthly pack meetings. Other than that, I am really scared. I called the previous cub master to get the scoop, but her home phone has been disconnected. I emailed her...hope she checks it soon.

Help? Pleeeeaaase feel free to leave me any ideas. I am going to need them!

It's Been Fun!

It really really has.

Best. Calling. Ever.

I was released today,  just before our Children's Sacrament Meeting Presentation began.

And then, the children sang better than I have ever heard them sing before. Awesome.

I have had a few requests for a 2012 Primary Music Schedule. Instead, I have created a generic sort of schedule:

Primary Music Schedule.pdf

The first page of the document is completely generic. Print of as many of this page as you need for the whole year, then fill in the Months, Monthly Themes, Dates, and all the songs.

Or, you can print the 12 additional pages that have the Month header already included, as well as the Prelude, Welcome, Birthday, Wiggle songs already filled in:

For months that have a 5th Sunday you will want to print an extra of either of the forms to add on an extra week.

I hope you will forgive any typos or inconsistencies. Also, if you have Microsoft Office Publisher (the program I used to create the schedule) and you would like to have my template so you can re-arrange it the way you want it, email me at bridgettepatterson@gmail.com and I will send you the editable Publisher file. After all, I'm still here. :)

Thanks to all of you for sharing so much love.
Have Fun!
