I made the pirate ship.

Today has been a pretty good day. Brad had moved the camper out a few days ago so he could put gravel down where it sits. Since he was off today, that's what he spent the morning doing! We all went with him for the first load at like 9am and we all helped him unload it. Brad's mom was next door when we got back with the second load so we all ditched him after that! 4 loads later and he was done! By the time that was all done, it was lunchtime and naptime. When Ryan finally went to sleep, I slept a little on the couch. Then we just hung out until Bible school. They were providing pizza so I didn't fix anything for supper. I really enjoyed VBS this year. I don't know what made it different but it was. I liked teaching the kids some camp songs. It made me remenice (sp?) on my past. Some of my best memories are from camp. Anyway, I took a bunch of water balloons tonight and we had an organized water balloon toss. THe kids went crazy with the leftovers. For some reason the older kids were dying to get me wet!! I was hiding behind BRad for awhile and then he ran away and I just stood there and told them to pop them over my head instead of throwing them at me. Only one kid did. So I was wet and then one of the other kids tryed to get Brad but it bounced off his shoulder and poped on the ground. So Brad and I snuck in the building and filled up two more water balloons and snuck up on the 2 older kids who got us and got them back while they were playing cornhole. It was fun. I went and started cleaning up my room and when I cam back out BRad was soaked!! Come to find out they dumped abunch of ice water on him from the cooler so now we are waiting until we go camping next month and get them back! So now the kids and I are smooth sailing for the summer. Next big plans are to go to Cols when Jess has that baby. Well, I need to get the kids in the tub so they can go to bed.

.....

Nat and Cheryl are finally here! Sebastion is being great....until Brad came home! He didn't like Brad at all at first. He is warming up to him some. We decided to have them sleep in Hannah's room since we can't run the a/c in the camper. So Hannah is sleeping in Ryan's room on the floor. Sammy has been very nervous since Sebastion got here. She is walking around "smiling" at everyone. Mom, I know you know what that means. She is doing it constantly. Patch wanted to play instantly.
VBS continues to go well. We haven't had many kids but it has been fun. I am going back in my past to teach them some good songs that we sang in camp. Tonight was King of Kings and Lord of Lords, hallelujah! It was fun. They wanted to do it again. Tomorrow will be Oh you can't get to Heaven...." I miss the camp days and I hope when the kids get older we can find a good one for them to go to. Those are some of the best memories I have and I want my kids to be able to experience it too.
In other news, I think my camera bit the dust. I was using it one evening at VBS and then all the sudden it just wouldn't come on. And it hasn't come on yet. Steph, at church, had that same camera and it did the same thing. I'm dying not being able to take pics.
We went to the library and signed the kids up for the summer reading program. For every 10 books we check out and read they get a ticket and then I guess they get a prize at the end or get entered to win a prize. I'm not sure about that part. So we borrowed our first 10 books and we've read three today.
Tomorrow is the free kids movie at the theaters so I'm going to take them to it. I'm excited to get the summer started! After VBS and we come back from seeing my nephew and things settle down we are going to start chores and schoolwork. Even Ryan.
Well, I guess I'm done for now.

Sometimes I wonder what God is thinking when he does stuff to me! If you'll remember, in a post not long ago I complained about how my life was ruined because we couldn't change our ins until Dec. Well, this evening I was in the room folding laundry (story of my life) and Brad came in and said, "I shouldn't even show you this but I will since I'm a good husband." He had a weird look on his face and he gave me the monthly newsletter he gets from the main office at work. Right smack in the middle of the page it had a section about open enrollment coming up in August where you can make changes to your ins if you want!! I was just getting used to the fact that I might be having a baby this summer when I got the last paper saying our plan went from Dec to Dec and then I was just getting used to the fact that I won't be having another baby until next fall sometime when he shows me this paper!! So....a baby might be coming sooner rather than later for me! But I'm not getting my hopes until the test comes back positive!!

In other news, the first night of VBS went well, all things considered. We had a very low attendance and for that I am disappointed but a lot of stress was lifted off my shoulders when everything went smoothly with my class!

Every day Hannah asks me if she has school and everyday I say the same thing and she does her happy dance! So tonight the kids are both sleeping in Hannah's room. They are still awake and it's almost 11 so they better sleep late tomorrow! I know Hannah will if Ryan doesn't wake her up!

Nat and Cheryl will be here sometime tomorrow. I'm happy and nervous all at the same time. I can't wait to have them around but I'm nervous about having another dog around (german shepherd but not quite as big and scary as Crsh, I don't think) and we can't turn the A/C on in the camper so they might end up in here somewhere!

Well, I have a headache, yet again so I'm gonna go to bed!
