Big weekend

Laura has started teaching 7th grade girls Sunday School at Bellevue.  She’s been doing it for about 2 months now.  It makes for tough Sunday mornings for me because she teaches at 8:00.  That means I’ve got to take care of the kiddos solo.  I know that Laura does it EVERY DAY.  But man, it is tough!  It is all worth it though, because Laura’s doing an awesome job as a teacher and she thoroughly enjoys it.

This weekend, 8 of her girls and her co-teacher, Renee, stayed at our house for Genesis weekend.  The weekend was jam-packed.  They started out Saturday around lunch at a nursing home where they played bingo and painted fingernails.  About 4, I joined them at the bowling alley.  That was followed by CiCi’s for dinner.  Which was followed by tie dying shirts.  Which was followed by watching a movie and eating popcorn.  It seemed like everyone had a great time.

I was able to do some yardwork this past week.  On my day off on Thursday, I laid some of the rocks around a new flower bed we were putting in.  I spent some time Saturday morning dropping in the dirt and managed to plant some Shi-Shi Camelias and pansies on Saturday around lunch.  I followed that up with some mulch and checked the box off for completing the flower bed.  We’ve been wanting to do something here for a while because the grass doesn’t grow very well in this area.  I’m pretty pleased with the results (even if I did it myself).  Photos of the house will come later in the week.  For now, here’s a few of the kiddos.
