Whirlwind

It's been a whirlwind of a weekend. On Saturday I had a baby shower for Heather in which I was in charge of the games. The shower was very nice. We had a lot of fun and she received a lot of really nice gifts. After we got home I had to go to Target to find a birthday present for Andrew's friend Carlie.

On Sunday, we all went to church and then I stayed for more training at the 11 o'clock service and then went straight to Carlie's birthday party. The kids had so much fun. They had a HUGE bounce house with a slide. Andrew played hard in the bounce house resulting in a bloody nose and two very skinned up knees. They had someone making balloon animals for the kids and they each had a few made. It was a lot of fun and Andrew got to play with his school friends. I have a couple pictures on my camera that I will post when I get a chance to download the pictures. I had to leave the party early to go back to church and work the evening service. I work this service every week so the kids are used to me being gone on Sunday nights although it is getting harder for Grace when I leave. She is fine once I'm gone but she always wants to go with me...that's a new thing b/c before she didn't care as long as daddy was around. Anyway, by the time I got home last night both kids were asleep. Grace had just gone to bed and Andrew had fallen asleep at the table eating his snack.

Today has been rough with the kids fighting and Grace climbing, but Mondays are always hard around here. Andrew didn't want to go to the store b/c he said his knees hurt too much and he was all hunched over when he walked so I called Stephanie to see if he could play with Nicholas and I took Grace with me. Of course, he walked over there just fine and when I told him that he so innocently said "Thank you." I wasn't complementing him but whatever it was cute. So Andrew got a little playtime with Nicholas which was nice. Grace was awesome at the store but hasn't been since. I'm praying that tomorrow will be better for her. She's just had a rough day trying to climb on the counters again and we have clashed a lot.

Well, that's our weekend. This week isn't too busy. Preschool on Wednesday and that's about it. Hopefully I can get back into blogging regularly again. Hope you all have an awesome Tuesday!
