Fun day!

Today was an easy-peasy work day: 25 minutes of dictation! Should have taken me just over an hour, but with the kids needing things and me being distracted, it took longer than that. Whatever, I was finished in time to be at the church for the kids' scavenger hunt. What a hoot that was! Two teams to complete/find stuff on a list about 30 items long. One item was a secret hand shake...our team told the children's intern that our hand shake was so secret that we couldn't show him. Too funny! (Okay, so the adults told the kids to tell him that, but it was funny all the same...) Another item on the list was to say John 3:16 with no help...ours rapped it (from the VBS version, I'm told. I never made it to the rally to see what they did). The kids had a blast and I had fun helping. We headed to the YMCA after, but didn't stay as long as normal...I was getting a headache from not eating lunch and because of sinus stuff. Kristin jumped in the pool several times without a belt, though, and was able to tread water pretty well. I was impressed.

I'm looking forward to the next few days. Kids are with the grandparents tomorrow night and again Sunday night through Thursday night. Andrew is going to VBS with my MIL, so both kids are spending the night with them for the duration. (They don't have a class for Kristin). It will be nice to have a few days before vacation time.
