now it makes sense

okay...so earlier today i wrote about our wonderful sibling argument this morning. i've racked my brain all day trying to figure out the sudden fascination with the money! well, it just clicked...

every year at our vbs we have a coin competition between the boys and girls. we weigh the buckets each night and at the end of the week whoever wins gets to do something silly to me! one year it was shaving cream, and one year it was silly string, but this year it happens to be something the kids are REALLY excited about.

well - a few minutes ago i was prepping my kids on the time frame of the night. mapboy has t-ball so daddy will take him to that while princess and i head off to vbs. we have to eat dinner at 4:30 for all of this to happen. and a cousin is coming home to spend the night so we need to have rooms cleaned and stuff out for that. in the midst of all the chatter, mapboy exclaims "i have my money all set out to bring tonight. will you please take it for me! i think i have more than princess!" the boys are gonna win this year!!!!"

so there it is...he didn't want to part with his beloved state quarters so why not take hers. and it would also ensure that she would have less to bring!!!

he is soooo smart...and i really am clueless sometimes.

i know the kids are excited....but me...well, i'm not so sure about this one....stay tuned!!!

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 ...
