Tiring Tuesday

Today I was supposed to pick my older kids up from camp. They have been gone since Friday morning. I was to make a 1 1/2 hour drive to get them along with 5 of the 12 other campers-sounds fun huh? Well, it didn't work out (thank you Lord- I mean, I love my kids but really? Does anyone really want to ride in the car for an hour and a half with tired, hyper and smelly pre-teens? Enough said). The youngest, Little Bean has a raging ear infection. Of course, no one would know that as she struts around in her panties and "bra" (big sissy's sports bra) saying she looks like the ladies on the commercials. Nice to know that while we monitor our television viewing, the commercials are corrupting them.

So, my good friend Netter went instead. We traded cars since hers wouldn't fit everyone. She drives a lovely little sedan with a window in the ceiling as Doodlebug calls it. Doodle and Little Bean begged me to open it. Now- today was a beautiful day in the Pacific NW. Sun, hardly a cloud in the sky. So, I go against my better judgement and open it. As my curly/frizzy hair is being sucked up through the window in the ceiling my beautiful 5 and 7 year old daughters have their windows down and are waving at people while yelling "Hola Peeps." Lovely. I finally got tired of trying to drive one handed while holding my "finger in a light socket" hair down, so I closed the sun roof. Enough fun for one day, I say!

Anyway, the older kids Jordo (13) & Girly Girl (12) got home from camp safe and sound. They had a blast and told us a little bit about it. This camp is an amazing camp that really preaches the truth. I am anxious to hear over the next several days what they learned about the Lord, and to see them walk it out. I am so proud of them!

Well, it is late and I am REALLY trying to get in the back to school routine of going to bed earlier. Guess I will have to start tomorrow night.

Adios Peeps!
