What a busy week

Last week was very full of activity around here. 

The majority of the activity centered around Sarah's "Theater Kids Camp."  This was a one week day camp that took place at our church.  The kids did all kinds of activities in preparation for their Friday night performance where they put on about a 35-40 minute musical presentation.  They did drama, choreography, and both choral and solo/duet singing.  Sarah had a solo, two duets and a trio and she did, of course, a fantastic job.  The favorite part of her week was spending the entire week with her best friend. 

Not only were they in the same small group at camp, but they spent nearly every night together that week.  Sunday night Sarah's friend spent the night with us, Monday night Sarah spent the night with her.  (Tuesday there was no sleep over due to her friend getting braces Tuesday and Sarah having an orthodontist appt. Wednesday.)  Wednesday night Sarah's best friend spent the night again along with her brother and sister.  That was fun!  From two kids to five instantly!  Then Thursday night Sarah spent the night at her friends house again.  Timothy's favorite night was Wedndsday because he got to have his own 'sleepover' with a couple kids sleeping in his room!  He was thrilled!

Thursday night was an interesting one for me.  I encountered a wasps nest and ended up getting stung (not badly) but in my haste to escape the wasps I ran across the yard, fell and hurt my leg (badly).  I really thought I had messed my leg up, but thankfully I am nearly pain free now.  I never even had so much as a bruise.

Sunday was the first night of house church that was held in our home this summer.  We had a great time and a really good chili supper.  Yeah, a chili supper the first week of August.  So much for summer temperatures around here.  It's been so cool at nights that a chili supper sounded good!  And it was!

We are looking forward to a slightly slower week this week as we prepare for vacation next week.  Just going to put the finishing touches on the school plan (since we start the week after next) and take it easy.  Well, that's the plan anyway.........
