Well it was a great camp this year that's for sure!  First of all Derk was off the entire week and that made life SOOOOO much better although the youth went to Winnipeg for some fun driving go-carts etc, and Derk drove and chaperoned so it meant that I was at home with the three youngest ones because the two girls were at recreation.  I had to walk over to the grounds the 8 blocks carrying Zach and having the twins running along on the sidewalk the entire trip because I needed to be there for choir and pick the girls up and the wheel on the stroller went wonky and I was afraid of being stranded with no stroller and have to lug it along too!  It was one of the hottest days too!  We made it though!

On Thursday night Derk and I did the music and leading so I had to be prepared for that too plus get everybody dressed up to the nines!  All the girls had brand new dresses and looked soooo sweet!  That night though, the Lord moved and everyone was laughing or drunk in the spirit.  There were about 40 people laughing in the altar it was amazine and the cop came in for a liquor license check too! hee hee.  At least that is what it LOOKED like.

Saturday wasn't too nice.  We discovered our yard filled with forks and our van toiletpapered and written on with soap.  That part was okay but then our primed only front door was full of ketchup.  Our stairs STILL even after washing it down with pots of water because we don't have a garden hose hook-up thanks to my father removing it, and the rain that was all night has not cleansed those pitted concrete steps and walk so its kind of icky to walk out there sigh... the door was just horrible.  We were NOT impressed on that one let me tell ya!

Oh well... we shall survive this one too!

We had one of those services where everything that can will go wrong on Sunday and so it was a teidious time, but all in all it came off okay and then there were two peeking in the door, one twice, and later one of our people met someone who'd been at camp and was thinking.  He wanted our articles of faith!

Monday, we kind of cleaned up from Camp and KD and I had to go to Morden to help Derk.  Today, we are dealing with 3 sick girls.  Not fun...  Derk left later today on purpose thinking his freight would be scanned in as promised the day before but found out when he was almost there, that they'd not done it so he's behind and is not impressed.  We are putting away laundry that was washed on the weekend, and I'm deep cleaning the book closet and the shelf. I've finished the desk top but am not really gung-ho to begin the drawers yet.  We've got littles sleeping everywhere and at almost 1 pm we are just thinking about lunch.

I can't believe my 41st birthday is in 10 days!  Jenaya keeps counting down to her's which is the 19th but I'm not paying attention to mine which is the day after and all of a sudden it is coming fast!  Kyla-Dawn turns 17 on the 27th and Josh will be 15 on August 10th so birthday season is in full force.  Jenaya turns 6 this year.
