Yesterday was youth group! Poor Billy could not come because he had baseball practice.

At youth group we played softball. My team lost. When we got inside we studied about Easter. We had to go an egg hunt, but there were fourteen people and twelve eggs, so two people did not get a egg. Paul and I did not get any eggs. Each thing inside an egg was something related to the meaning of Easter. After the study we ate brownies and then Sheri gave us all Easter bags! There was alot of different candy! YUMMMY!
Thank you Kevin, Sheri and Shea!!!

Yesterday I went outside with Shannon and some friends. We were playing pass with a softball and I couldn’t see the ball because of the sun in my eyes. Because of that, Damian accidently hit me on the head with the softball. The second time I hit my head, Billy was running with a plastic bat and accidently hit me in the back of my neck. Then Damian was throwing a plastic bat in the air, and it accidently hit me in the back of the neck.

Now today I have a really sore bump in the back of my neck. It use to have a scab on it! I also have a teeny sore spot on my forehead.

On Thursday, Meredith called and asked if I could sleepover at her house on Friday, the night before her birthday party. I could! I had to go to their church building first, and help Meredith, her family and some friends set up for a race. When we got back from their church, I wrestled Connor. We didn’t keep score. Then we got ready for bed. I gave Meredith her present which was nine packages of M&M’s in a CUTE little Easter container.

The next day we went downstairs and ate breakfast. After breakfast we played a little bit, then got ready to go to the Shape-N-Race at the Crawford’s church.
Garret was third place! Garret won a small trophy! Poor Connor did not win. After the race Mrs. Crawford, Meredith and I went in a van and the boys went in the other van.

First we went to Friendly’s and had ice cream! Then we went to the mall. Mrs. Crawford tried to find running shoes, but did not find any, so we went to the salon and got a manicure and our nails painted! My nails are sparkly blue and Meredith’s are lavender! After the salon, Meredith and I looked around in Claire’s while Mrs. Crawford bought running shoes. After that we left.

When we got back from the mall, we showed our nails to Gavin, Connor, Garret and Mr. Crawford. They were not very interested in our nails. Then we played a little bit in Meredith’s room. After awhile we started to play dress-up but then we had to leave.

When we got to my house, all the Crawford boys played in Billy’s room except Mr. Crawford. Meredith and I played with Polly Pocket dolls, then we walked Doug! Dougie was a good boy. Then we had supper. Yummm! After that we watched the movie. When the movie was done, we had ice cream. Then the Crawfords had to leave!

Thank you Crawfords for coming over!

Tonight I am sleeping over at Meredith’s! I am SOO EXCITED! The next day after the sleepover we are going to celebrate her birthday by going to a salonto get our nails done. Then window shopping! Then we’ll come back to her house and play. When it is time to leave we are going to have a movie night at our house! We are going to watch I am Sam. I will tell you about the sleepover and the movie night on my next blog entry.

Tonight is Bible study! We are studying Ephesians. It is interesting. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson come to bible study, Mike Fettes, the leader of the study, and then there is us the Clarke family that goes to bible study. We study in a room at the YWCA in Lewiston, maine. It is cool.

While Paul is in prison in Rome he wrote a letter to the christians in Ephesus. You can read this letter by clicking here. Pauls letter became one of the books of the bible.

Youth group was canceled because it was rainy, and poor Shea, Kevin and Sheri’s Daughter was sick, and I think their car was in the shop so they couldn’t drive it. It was a sad day except there was Hooked on Books so I got to see two of my friends that day! We studied Chasing Vermeer. We all made our own pentominoes!

Saturday Dad, Billy and I went and practiced ball for like two hours, but there was only boys practicing so I played with Hopey and Sydney instead.

After that we went home for a little while. While Billy and Dad showed I walked Dougie! When I got back Billy was not done yet and Dad was done his shower. When Billy was done we left.

We went to Burger King. Then ate supper. Then we went to the movies, got popcorn and soda then we went into the theatre. We watched The Shaggy Dog! It was so funny! Dad says it is good enough to buy! Sarah and the Shaggy dog are my favorite movies!

When we got home we went almost straight to bed!

The next day we had egg mcmuffins. Then we went to church. After church we went home instead of Amenty Manor. Billy and I went to David and Christophers to see if there were home. They were not there. Then Billy and I played on the computer. Then Shannon, Mom and Abbey came back from Fawnwander!
