campout

last friday night hubby decided to try a campout in our backyard with the kids. we have set the tent up to play in but thought we'd give it a try again this summer! we had a great time...we made smores over our little camp stove, hunted crickets, read some books in the tent, played with the lantern, and watched a bat fly around! what great fun we had...but the four of us no longer fit in a 2 man tent, the mosquitos were crazy, oscar(the dog) must be able to hear the bat at a different decibel and therefore moaned, hubby and i were exhausted, and princess did not like that bat...so at 10:00 we came inside. the kids had a sleepover in princess's room and we slept nicely on our comfy bed!!

i often wonder why my parents always took us camping in a van and tent. it couldn't have been that much fun!! i don't think my family will be experiencing the joy of camping any time soon!!!!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
