The first step was to gather my supplies. That was not too hard until I started looking around the house for two wire coat hangers. I had to search all our closets but I finally found two shoved in the back of two different closets. After I finally found the coat hangers I had to untwist them and then join the together. The next step was deciding what shape to give the worm. Once I completed this I began the process of placing the tulle onto the wire. Boy was that a job. I wanted a nice full worm and I never thought I would get done weaving the tulle in and out of the coat hanger and making the poofs. Finally, I finished and it was time to decorate the worm. Here is a picture once that part was finished.
Wanting to stay as close as I could to Spring Hill colors I used purple and black chevron ribbon. Not being able to find grey Hannah said black would work. I added the ribbon alternating the colors as I went down the body. The final step was to make the face. Of course since it is a bookworm he needed a pair of glass. This is my finished project. The girls seemed to like it and hung it on their door.
Family Weekend was a lot of fun. John, Nathan and I attended. While Libby and Noah got to visit with their Grammy. Since Hannah's roommate's family was not able to attend we invited her to be part of our family group. It provided us a wonderful opportunity to get to know the young lady who has become a great friend to Hannah.
While at Spring Hill we got to visit two different classes on Friday morning. Friday evening we ate dinner on the USS Alabama and then toured the ship. Nathan somehow got ahold of the self tour guide paper and he lead us on all three of the tours. Hannah's roommate just went along with it and even got a laugh when she was trying to climb the stairs and Nathan stuck his arm out to prevent her since he was not done telling us all about the room we were at.
Saturday there was a picnic and then we chose to go to a baseball game. It was the JV playing the varsity. It was a lot of fun watching the game. Nathan even stay to finish watching the game with Hannah's roommate while John, Hannah and I went to Mass. After Mass there was the music fest and then around 9 o'clock we headed downtown for a Haunted Duck Boat Tour. The tour was really interesting hearing about some of the history of Mobile and it's ghost legends.
On Sunday we got the opportunity to meet some of the priest at Spring Hill. We were very fortunate to get to visit with Father Campbell who is Hannah's acting teacher. It was really nice to meet him since Hannah is Alice in their Fall Play. I hear a lot about him because she spends several of her evenings at practice for the play. While John went to mass the girls and I went back to their dorm so they could do some homework and I read my book. Nathan had decided he was worn out and stayed at Grammy's to sleep. We meet back up after Mass and ate in the cafeteria while a jazz band played.
Needless to say it was a very busy weekend. We did not attend all the activities that were offered since we spent some of our time just visiting with the girls. I had a wonderful time and I am so thankful that God blessed Hannah with such a wonderful roommate who is kind and thoughtful. She is so sweet that one Sunday they attend the Baptist church and then the next they attend the Presbyterian church for Hannah.
