VBS Week

Well now that's it the end of the month I can catch you up on what has been going on. This week is VBS. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's Vacation Bible School! I volunteered to be the craft leader not knowing what that would involve. Now that I'm in the of it I know for a fact I will never be a school teacher. Having between 20-35 kids in a room would literly send me to an early grave, if I had to do this everyday for 180 days straight. I have a whole new respect for preschool and elementary teachers. Preparing the crafts have been very time consuming. I have 91 kids to prepare crafts for. I have 4 different classes of crafts. Yesterday was the hardest with piggy bags. Note to all who want to work with craft foam; double sided tape DOES NOT WORK! Glue dots have been my friend this week. I've made it halfway so far and it looks like I'm going to make it. Happily I have vacation at my parents next week, so it will be chillin' on the beach for a week! Yeah. Since I noticed the weather in Walla Walla is going to be in the 90s.
Time to vamoos! More later
Oh, I also forgot that in the midst of all this week our computer broke so even though we were planning on buying a new one (in a year), we decided to buy one now and got a fun new laptop. So far, we really like it.
Later~~~

Sleep deprivation

Having children will give you the best joys of your life. I think the reason this happens is because our idea of what is great is masked by endless sleep deprivation. I absolutely with all my heart and soul love my children but I pray that they give me sleep tonight. Ironically it's the 4 year old that has been keeping me up at night not the 4 month old. Isn't that a little backwards.
Anyway, that is about all I have for tonight!
