I'm So Happy -VBS
When I was growing up all the churches we ever went to had VBS during the day in the summer. I loved the snacks and games we would play, and I always looked forward to it every year. Now sadly since there are not as many stay at home moms, churches have VBS at night. The silver lining to that sad cloud is that my mother volunteers at her church during VBS week, and my children are the beneficiaries of that. You see my church doesn't have it and I doubt they ever will. I would not feel comfortable to send my kids to a church where I didn't know many people. I gladly will send them with her though, so this means that it is date week for Nate and I. My mom picks up the kids at 5:45 and doesn't bring them home till 9:15, just in time for bed. YEA! So we are off to dinner tonight, and maybe every night this week. We also get to ride the motorcycle, which is something that I rarely get to do. I should be in a really good mood this week. See ya.

that is weird... everyone has it int he day here, which is why i couldn't go, cause of johnny...
you'd think a big city would cater to the working people.
our church had 500 kids last week... it sounds crazy to me. i'm still comfortable with about 10 or 15 in a class lol;)
have an awesome week together, after roughing it! :)
Date week... I have friends that are having date week this week too... they typically let the kids go to his parents for a week, and they go to Denver to clime mountains and such. Well this year the kids went for their week, and they are vacationing at home! They too are enjoying the two up on the motorcycle.
I'm hoping to get some motorcycle time in after Nikita leaves.
Yeah, I'll BET you'll be in a good mood. Bet Nathan is hoping you'll be in some sort of mood.
Thank God for for VBS. Thank God for Grandparents. Thank God for motorcycles. Thank God for..... !!!
Awesome!! have lots of FUN!!!
jacqueline- You're hilarious!! I love it!
Hi Catrina,
This is your very-very old buddy from way back in our very pre-teen days, Crista (Dickerson) Quinn. I have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now. Your mom, from whom I'm sure you got the "It's me!" when you answer the phone, called my mom for her birthday and was telling her that you have a blog, so I looked it up on google, and had a great time, reading through all your archives. I have been meaning to post for awhile to let you know I am on here, but you know how it is with 3 kids, very little time to actually post - I just like to skim read things when I get a chance. Anyhow, I was very interested to read all about your homeschooling - we've been at it now for 5 years with my 2 boys, ages 9 and 12, and it can get very interesting with our "surprise" 2 year old girl in the mix! I had to post a reply to this post though, because I remember being in those early VBS's with you. Remember doing music in the other building where they had the day care at National EFC? Remember Stop and Let me Tell You or His Banner Over Me is Love? I was just thinking of you this morning, because our church is doing VBS and I am one of the missions/memory teachers (we have about 700 children coming to our church), and sitting there this morning, I had a sudden flashback to being a little girl, sitting in the back of the National EFC's sanctuary and hearing a Bible story during VBS. I would get so excited every year for that exciting week!! I also had to tell you a funny (well, not so funny for my friend) story about my friend and what she thought was going to be date week. They were all set to put her three boys in a VBS in the evening just a couple of weeks ago. They were looking forward to having "date week" and planning all the fun things they would do together. That all changed though, when her husband was playing with her boys at the playground on the Sunday before, and he broke 3 ribs and punctured his lungs when he fell from a high part of the playground. So, instead of date week, they spent most of that week together in the hospital. So, please be careful on that motorcycle!!! haha! I have to admit when you wrote about being in a good mood, I thought the same thing as your friend Jacqueline. haha! 14 and a half years of marriage will do that to you, I guess.
Oh, and happy birthday a week from Saturday. I still remember you turning 7 on 7/7/77, so I never forget your birthday. I used to be so jealous when you would turn a year older, and my birthday wouldn't be till the following March. Now, you can have the number 37; I am still adjusting to being 36.
Nice talking to you! Hope you get that little girl from Haiti home with you soon; she's adorable!

Crista, I can't believe that it's finally you. My mom told me your mom had seen my blog, so I assumed that you may pop in and take a peek. I am so happy to hear from you. I always remember playing in your basement in the summer and making Lifesaver necklaces with clear finger nail polish on them, and Warren ate a couple one time, and my mom made him throw up in your hall bathroom upstairs. You will have to send me an updated picture of your family to my email, plus send me your email address. I love having this blog because I can stay connected to so many people at once. I'm so happy you said hello. I can see you at my 6 or 7 b-day party right now, we painted our faces, and had a jello mold, because I hate cake.
