Eddie in the Nursery

So...for the 3rd hour of church today....the men took over Primary so all the ladies could celebrate Mother's Day with a little brunch! Brunch at 3pm?....whatever!! I escaped and went home!!! Eddie however got the joyful duty of serving in the Nursery. There were 4 little girls and one boy. The boy is William, the Bishop's son. The four little girls are: Carol Burnett, the smiley blonde girl, the princess and the one under the table. He knew before hand he would be in the Nursery, so I reminded him to sing!!!! He was in there with 2 other men. The two other men spent the whole time on their cell phones/blackberrys...checking the basketball game score and sharing stuff with each other and ignoring the kids.
When they first got to the nursery the regular nursery leader gave them the rules and then reluctantly left!!! Eddie sat at the table with Carol Burnett and smiley blonde girl while they ate goldfish...so of course Eddie had to tell them they were delicious. Eddie showed them how a plate could be a hat or Mickey Mouse ears. Next it was time for playing "hide the baby"! Eddie would tell them...what's that on the wall and they would all look and he would hide the baby doll in his coat or under his arm. This game brought Under the table girl out from under the table. They did this for 10 minutes. It got a little warm so Eddie opened the window for some fresh air. They began to watch it rain and the look at the clouds and the mountains. Eddie was playing puppet show with the baby at this point, holding it outside of the frosted glass, saying, "let me in, let me in!" Then William came over with a dinosaur..so they played where's the baby where's the dinosaur. Then Eddie was hanging the kids out the window. Then Carol Burnett threw her shoe out the window so Eddie put William outside to get the shoe and then had to coax William back in. Of course after William got back in...the shoe went back out the window...a new fun game. Then it was singing time. Eddie sang Popcorn Popping and everyone stopped and joined in..except for the princess in the other room. Smiley blonde girl was doing all the hand motions. Then Eddie played monster and was chasing the kids around the table and into the toy room. The princess told Eddie, "Don't scare me, I don't want to be scared!" He said, "Ok. I will not scare you!" After this Eddie was tired, so they all sat down and had sippy cups with water. So Eddie taught them a new game called, "Catholic Blessing!" He taught them how to sprinkle each other by flicking their sippy cups. William was really good at it until he filled his mouth with water and spit it all on Eddie. Of course Eddie was giving him a "Cathoic Blessing" at the time. Carol Burnett just turned her sippy cup upside down and shook it's contents onto Eddie's leg. Next it was time to teach them Eddie's favorite "wave at the Bishop!" You stick your thumb in your nose and wiggle your fingers. He said it didn't catch on very well. There were still 5 minutes left so he chased them all into the toy room and they sang Popcorn Popping 2 more times and then it was time to go!!! The two other men, that were so helpful, told Eddie that they found a new calling for him!!!!!! Oh to be a fly on the wall!!!!!
