No comment (again) - Matt we did a lot of things today i learned how to make a fan ot of napkins of lunch tomorrow for the old people. we went to a nise ladie home and gave us a cookie and a coke and we talked for about an hower we took her dog out side and then we plaed uno that was relly fun.steph :) we hade a great day today wish I was at home :) Holly Hi Everyone! This is my first blog...been kind of busy :-) Other than lack of sleep the week is a lot of fun and the kids are really AWESOME! I continue to learn more and more about each child (is that good or bad?????) Of course its good! Lori I had a nice day. We went to two residents homes at the nursing home. The first resident was nice. She wanted us to clean her windows. She had a small dog named peaches or peach I'm not sure. The next resident loved us. She had a dog too. It was a lab named noah. She needed her windows cleaned but, was more interested in just hanging out with us. She hung up on her grandson for time with us. When we got back to the main house we got ready for a memorial. It was for all the people that died that month. Their was also a farmers market in the hall. We played uno w/ one of the resedents w/ altimers. She called it you know. She won mostly. Caitlin I had fun today. We went to two houses to wash windows and one of the ladies was REALLY nice and gave us candy and soda and cookies. She had a golden retriever named Noah that all of us loved. I think she was more happy about us just visiting for a while than she was about the windows getting cleaned. Then we came back and showered (FINALLY!!!)c: -marleigh

Monday Night Continued...

Some of the kids did not get to finish their posts due to our internet connection. No comments from Matthew at this time! Marleigh will be posting later tonight! She is playing a structured game with the staff! We are all having a great time serving at the Shrewsbury Luthurn Retirement Community. The staff there was very nice and welcomed us!! WE HAD SOOO MUCH FUN!!! today we went to a retirement home and did this thing called woga, yoga for people in wheelchairs. Then we had a fun time playing bingo (which I won). when we returned to the school we had dinner and went back to our room for a pillow fight with the other girls here! I CANT WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW!!! c: -Marleigh We Are having a GREAT TIME! We will try to post every night, but we might have some connection problems. Lori, Earl & Missy are doing fine...I think we all would of liked to have a litte more sleep>

Monday Night

had a great first day coming and the excitement just keeps coming :) Holly 

we went to a  old people home and did a lot of things with the people. we got to know a lot of them. we ate donuts.them we ate lunch. we plaed bingo it was so funny. half the time they did not here us that was fun. :)stephanie wenrich

i woke up at 5:23 this morning and my air mattress was deflated. It was so bad because I didn't want to wake anyone up with my inflator/deflator.I then rolled onto the ground so it didn't get anyone up. I pulled my blanket and my fitted sheet onto me and rolled around til it was about 5:30. When I finally decided that sleep was nearly impossible I got my clothing and went into the bathroom. Next I got my toothbrush and toothpaste to go brush. I did all this while documenting everthing including the other kids waking. First came Stephanie, then Holly, then Lori. The song to wake you up was just doo daa doo doo made into a tune. Breakfast was waffles w/ yougurt and fruit on the side. They also had hard boiled eggs, toast, and cerel, but I didn't have that. We went to a nursing home and played lots of fun games like yoga in chairs, and bingo. Other than the morning I had a great day (sorry for rushing) Caitlin
