Yes, I knew that would cause a ruckus. I'm so unfair. The boys were at camp, too, and feel slighted that I didn't post a picture of them. I really wasn't around them much because they were always in a water fight. I'm not much of an outdoors gal, and less of a get-wet gal, and much less of a defend yourself gal. Now paintball might be fun, but since I'm not very war-oriented, I don't imagine that's for me, either. Target practice is good. Indoor target practice is really good. Anyway, I spent most of my free time in the geek infested lobby, which was the only place we could get internet. Actually, internet came in well from about 2 am until 8 am, so if you know much about me, you know that the world isn't really grateful about my presence at that particular time. Michael took me into town a couple afternoons for good coffee and good internet. No, it wasn't the highlight of my week, but it was close!
The first night we were there, a gal was trying to herd three little kids all by herself. I thought that was a bit much to ask, so I told her that there were plenty of moms in our little group, plus a couple-three pretty good baby-sitters, so she should feel free to ask for help. She pretty much fell apart and said that she was planning on going home! Wow... just in time!! So a couple of us convinced her that we could do this together, and she agreed to stay. Another seasoned Maranatha mom led her to the Play Park where you can just leave your littlest ones for what looked like all day Bible school. They even had a stroller to lend her. That was really great! Anyway, it was pretty obvious throughout the week that her little ones knew her buttons and in what order to push them!! So she got her Play Park escapes, and Mallory really took to her little Bailee and she actually got some fun time on her own, too. It's fun to run into people like that. We did have a really great time. The boys did, too, it's just that I hardly ever saw them. Matthew joined me at the craft hut for a little while, but didn't take on any overtime.
Well, I better get this posted and get moving on. Name tag girl gets really flustered when she gets there late! You should try that sometime... hand out alphabetized nametags to everyone you see, gather the names of those you don't know, try to answer questions of your friends and while sorting the important questions from the bickering of your kids, and try to remember everything you were going to ask someone at church today! It can really scramble your brain!! Although most of my answers go something like: "L, M, N, O, P... who was I looking for?"
