Creation has been postponed...

Posted in Homeschool Hijinks

We have been attending VBS this week.  The kids are having a great time, but our trip to the fair last Wednesday derailed our Creation Camp.  I'm planning to finish it this weekend.

The Bigs are back from camp (YEAY!) and all had a wonderful time!  Em had only one low blood sugar (55 at 3am!!) the night before she came home, and 2 highs (200's).  The rest of her numbers were PERFECT!  Of course now that she is home, she has been running in the 200's and even 300's all week.  Except 2 normals.  Have I said yet that I HATE the "honeymoon" period??  AHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!
