the weekend

Today was a good day, yesterday was too. Actually it's been a good week :). We are back to a normal Corps schedule, which is easier for everyone to keep track of. Attendance has been great, even on Sunday mornings we are seeing those on the "fringes" come more and more.

Saturday was spent at home, yay! We played games, did chores, watched a movie, the boys and Paul had a nerf gun fight. The boys work hard building their "fort" downstairs, it's actually pretty impressive. Paul just gets the matress, but still nails them like crazy. Ann is the bullet girl and happily retrieves bullets for daddy. I stay upstairs with Hannah because there is no doubt she'd get hurt and with all I hear, I don't want to be down there either. I was once and I kept "accidently" being hit. Plus they have all these crazy rules that I can't keep track of.

After church today we went out to lunch with a Corps family. It was a real nice time. I can't believe we were at there for almost 3 hours! It's nice on the Sundays that we don't have church services at the nursing homes because we're able to relax after church instead of gearing up for the next thing.

The boys are playing in the bathtub with their legos. They are waterboarding their lego guys and coming up with other forms of torture in order to interrogate them (like they're ever going to talk!). I wonder if I should be worried.

Ann and Hannah did my hair. I think I have close to 25 bows and clips in my hair. They think I look beautiful. I told the girls the story of the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her perfume and then wiped His feet with her hair. Ann was amazed that someone would do that. It was funny trying to explain the lesson to her, she just couldn't get past the feet and hair thing!

I have my digi cam up and working and have taken a ton of pics. I'm so happy! The kids are dying to use it too, but I don't know if I want to open that door. Paul will teach me how to get everything on the computer since he has done that before with the Corps camera. I can't believe how dumb these computer things make me feel. I was proud of myself just getting my camera up and running, getting it on the computer is another thing.

Well, good riddens. I need to get back upstairs and throw something on the table for a late dinner. Everyone was stuffed after lunch so dinner will be easy.
