boring for Saturday

let me try this one... " Boring post for saturday".
well it's saturday night, I'm still at work. Only a few minutes before I can go. I figure it's ok to take a break and write a post because I've been here 12 hours straight, with a 15 minutes break for food..
Anyway Saturday is the busiest day here. we have 100 families or more for fellowship, mass and diner. With CCD and workshops on top of that, food drive, clothes drive and social services.
And no lunch break :(

I do the CCD for the first communion group, and gardening with some kids.
The gardening was great. I had only 4 kids today!! We saw the difference between parsley and cilantro, tomatoes and beans, radice and broccoli... all of which are growing well.

With the first communion kids I wanted to do Zachee, the little guy in the tree. Because next week is the big day, and I wanted them to know why we say " I'm not worthy to receive you" before communion.. Well I was called to more earthly needs, we had to "repeat" for next week. Who sits where, how to stand up without sounding like a bunch of elephants, no gums, put your hands together, no nose picking etc...
Then it was funny to teach them how to put their hands together to receive communion, to say amen, to look at the eucharist.

the funniest part was when I said " oh and don't forget your second communion in two weeks!"
And they all stared at me like" what??!! no one told us about this!!" poor little kids, they were so funny. Then I said " Yes, and then there is the third one, and forth, and a hundredth and communion two thousand three... they are all very important days. We just didn't prepare only your first communion, we prepared for all the ones after that..." then they understood and they smiled. How cute they are!!:)

Actually my day was not boring at all :) I really like those kids, we just spent one year together and I would like to give them a nice present.
I'll think about it.

have a good night all.
