"I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things..."

First of all, I love that movie. Lord of the Rings. The whole last half of the third movie just makes me want to cry. I don't of course, but that doesn't mean I don't feel like it.....

Hmm, well.... things have been good. Amelia and I have pathetically been trying to act responsibly since her dad left. It is weird. You have to keep track of when you need to go shopping and when you need to clean or water plants, etc. etc. Ok, what? I already know that you all do this every day! I'm sorry I am a loser and have never had a life :). It is ok. Now I have. All I am saying is that it is funny to think about us taking care of these things :). Heehee. Yesterday Guillaume came over and wiped our table off.... woops. Apparently things are getting bad. Oh well. For the most part we do pretty good. It is when we don't have a lot of time that things get pretty messy......
Well, these pictures today are from the Primary Activity that we had on Saturday. Can I just say how much I love working in the Primary?! I LOVE working in the primary! It is the best! There aren't a ton of kids so it doesn't get too crazy, and they are all so cute! I can't hardly stand it. I absolutely love it. I love all of them. So....pretty much me and Amaël are best friends now. My FAVORITE boy in the world! Honestly.... for reals guys.... this isn't even a joke. I love him. He is SO cute!! So, we were basically playing the whole time and he even let me hold him. Man! Best day ever! The next day (Sunday), he saw me in the hall and he yelled, "Lindsay!!!!!" Yes :). Best ever. Not even kidding. It has pretty much made my life..... Anyway.... I hope these pictures aren't completely boring for you all. I just love these kids......


Corentin, Faustine, Me, Sis. Poussard (Corentin's mom) the Primary Pres.

Joshua doing the crust for the Pumpkin Tart. heehee....

Amaël mixing some cookies. You have to be kidding me.... He was so cute! He thought that everyone thought he was a real cow, so he would lift up the mask and say, "c'est moi!" like it was such a surprise :). Heehee..... he is so cute.

So, the kids were making delicious treats to eat after the games and stuff. It was awesome. They turned out pretty good. The pumpkin tart wasn't even half as good as American Pumpkin pie though. I was a little disappointed. Corentin was telling me he didn't like pumpkin pie and I could not believe it! Well, if that is the pumpkin pie he is thinking of, I don't actually blame him...

Samuel and Mathieu

This is Amaël about to pull up his mask and show us who it really was :).

This is Joshua. He is so cute. He is Amaël's big brother. They have the cutest family!

Are you joking?! This is the cutest ever!

Oh..... these pictures make me want to cry! Do you see what he is doing with me?!

Hahaha, these cookies didn't turn out so bad. I thought they would be a huge mess :). It was definitely a huge mess to make them!

So cute! They were playing Soccer. They are actually pretty good.

Here is Corentin playing with the kids. Cutest ever. They just never stop.

So, the Primary is apparently putting on a play of "A Christmas Carol." This was their first time going over it. It was so cute :). A little weird hearing it in French, but it was great :.

Hahaha! Amaël was Marley's chains!

This is one of the Spirits and Scrooge.

Favorite.

MOST favorite :D.

Heehee....

They were explaining Freeze Tag.

Alright well. That was fun.

Well, let me think what else has been going on. Last night we went to a Young Adult fireside/broadcast. Well... that is what it was supposed to be. We got to the church and it was locked. We then went over to the institute building but they couldn't get it on their computer so.... we didn't actually watch it. We ended up hanging out in the Institute Kitchen and inventing how to make caramel to pour on popcorn. It was an adventure for sure :). None of them worked out but... they were ok. I definitely felt sick by the time I got home though :). When we got home, we made dinner for us and Guillaume. Poor Guillaume had a dinner he won't forget :). Not because of the food. It was the company. heehee. I think we were tired or something. He didn't even have a minute of peace, poor guy. Plus, it was actually food that he didn't like. We didn't really have anything else though. He ate it like a good boy though. So anyway. Afterwards we all stayed up WAY too late talking about the most random things and laughing our heads off. Of course. Isn't that always what happens when you stay up late? I don't think it can be helped.... Oh well. It was really fun :).

Well, I would like to tell you all that Water is the best thing ever. I don't actually super like it but it helps so much! I have been drinking a ton of it, hoping it will clear my skin and it totally has! Also, totally losing weight still. I forgot how well it worked.... I would encourage you all to drink tons. Exactly tons.

Well, bad news. At the Primary Program during an exciting struggle for a soccer ball, my camera fell off the stage and onto the floor. Well.... luckily it didn't break the insides or anything, but the Lens had some pieces that broke off. It will take pictures if I hold it in just right, but... it isn't the same. Well, it is ok though. Guillaume is going to lend me some super glue so hopefully I will be able to fix it. If not, I will eventually buy a new one. It is a bummer though. It is alright though.... it could have been much worse. I am grateful that it even works at all :).

Sometime this week Amelia and I are going to make Banana Bread! Yes! We are just waiting very impatiently for the Bananas to get really ripe. I will tell you how it goes. I am so excited. I have been wanting to make something delicious forever :).

Also, I just have to say... I don't understand how girls can say "I hate boys!" I mean really.... I absolutely love them. They are so much fun. They don't have all the lame superficial things about them that girls do. With girls often you feel like they are judging, or just being nice because they think they should, or you just get bored..... I am not saying this is how all girls are.... I love girls too. Please believe it. I definitely like hanging out with guys though :). They feel so real to me. That is why I like them. I am so glad that Amelia and I are the kind of girls that guys can stand to be around. I consider that a good thing even though I am not SO sure it is :). I wonder if I will have any feminine thing about me once I go back :). Well, did I ever?...... Heehee. Oh well. That is what happens when you grow up with 5 boys I guess. I wouldn't trade it for anything....

Well, I need to go practice. It has been fun.....
