Hubris………..Nemesis
I thought I could handle our Junior Church’s Infants Group. After all I’ve helped out enough times. All I had to do was plan a few games, a bible study and decide what craft activity to do. All the ideas were in the resources book. I knew they were lively, but after all ……. most of them are only 5.
Aarrrrrggghhh!
How wrong I was.
I won’t go into much detail apart from the fact that my designated helper didn’t turn up and the badges that I tried to get them to make turned into soggy gluey horrid things. Suffice it to say that I ended up after church in a soggy heap myself being consoled by the vicar’s wife (mother of two of my charges so she knew what I’d just been through).
The funny bit is – I’ve got to do it again next week!

Sounds hectic, we made origami crosses recently (Easter) with the guides and wasted a few moments but these sound younger than 10yrs???? Good luck for next week, have the wine ready and waiting for when you get home!

Well you are a braver person than me! I flinch at the thought of having my little man and a friend!
Good on you!
I am sure it will get better as the weeks go by.
And, always better after a Saturday night’s dutch courage!
