At midnight I was the first boy to go to sleep.  They pranked me since I was asleep.

They took markers and drew on my back and on my face.  I didn't know until in the morning.   Another boy and I were awake long before any of the others.   We had donuts to eat.

Barbara picked me up at 9:55am.  I wanted to go back but she would not let me go.  She said Austin's parents must be ready for peace and quite.  Julian and Xavier had to go to church.  Alyssa family was till asleep at 10:30!  Barbara said she would play with me but I wanted to play with kids.

I had nothing to do, so I laid down on the sofa and fell asleep.  I slept for at least two hours.
Finally Alyssa was awake and I played with her for about 30 minutes, then I had to get ready for church.

Barbara and GGM worked on my face, trying to get the marker off with rubbing alcohol.  I had to hold my breath while they rubbed.  They got 95 percent of it off.

Barbara and I stopped at McDonald's to use a coupon he had.  It was a Christmas gift to Barbara from Anna Kate and Bradley.  We ate in the car because it was raining and we didn't want to get out in the rain. 

We arrived at church 15 minutes early, so I went to play on the playground.  It was really wet and I got a little wet, but not too much.

Barbara waited in the car during my hour and  15 minute class.  She enjoyed listening to the rain... lots and lots of rain.

We talked about Lent and what I could do for Lent.  Today at my Faith Formation class we did an assessment to see what we learned something from my homework and if I knew my prayers.  I passed.

We drove home and Barbara would not let me go to Austin's to play.  She still thought Austin's parents would want this afternoon spent with just their family...  We watched an episode of the Monk TV show.  Monk became blind during the show and his sight came back during the show.  Then we watched some of the Closing ceremony of the winter Olympics.

I practiced counting to ten in Japanese.  Nine and ten are the only numbers that give me trouble.  I want to say "could-you" when it is "coo-jew."  GGF taught Barbara, Grandma,  Mommy, Bridget, and Andy to count to ten on Japanese.  They all can still do it without even hesitating.  I didn't fall asleep until a little after 9pm.  Maybe because I took a 2 hour nap this afternoon.
