VBS pics are in the gallery Some aren’t the best quality but it gives an idea of 900+ kids.

I know I was physically there but I’m so tired I only vaguely remember a few things. Important things like lots of kids, too much noise, need caffeine and want to go home. Another teacher stopped me in the hall this morning, pointed to my bottle of diet vanilla Pepsi and said “where did […]

Its all downhill from here. Its a good thing because everyone is feeling it. I needed inspiration this morning via vanilla Diet Pepsi. I noticed there were more discipline problems today. Chief said a boy misbehaved in his class so the teacher took the boy to Mrs. Mary Jane (our children’s minister). Chief said “Mom […]

They forgot to give the attendance today but I’m sure it was higher than yesterday. I added seven kids to my class who either weren’t there yesterday or got in when a spot opened on the waiting list. Yes, our VBS has a waiting list for every department. That just blows my mind. I would […]

Saturday I had supervision of the small one and we went outside. Eventually I heard her yell several times “open sesame!” I came around the house where she was standing in front of the garage door. She told me “It won’t open daddy.”
I chuckled because earlier in the week I had […]

Day 1 attendance was 1164-which breaks down as 908 kids and 256 teachers/helpers. The whole experience left Princess speechless. As most of you know, Princess always has something to say. She didn’t say much of anything until we got home and then she wanted to tell me her memory verse. She actually seemed happy to […]

Due to a water main break just down the road we have to boil drinking and cooking water through the weekend. What a pain! However we decided not having electricity was a whole lot harder than boiling water. We lose electricity on a regular basis out here. Now if we lose power AND have […]

Princess has had a few imaginary friends on and off for awhile now but recently there has been a population explosion. She has so many friends that when I ask their names (its nice to know who I’m stepping or sitting on) she can’t remember. I noticed after we went to Michigan and she […]

When Digineer was heading into the death spiral, we realized that we (the IT team) needed to find some cheaper PC’s, so we decided to build them. But we didn’t want bland beige boxes, we needed some cases that the programmers would like so they would accept the upgrades. I don’t remember if […]
