After an extremely wearisome day, it feels good just to mindlessly blog for a while.
Early this morning, we headed for the magic show at our local library. Matthew got to help the "Magic Man" do a few tricks so he was on cloud 9. He kept looking up at me and giving me the thumbs up!
After the show, it was off to swimming lessons. While the boys were there, Lauren and I went to lunch at our favorite local hamburger place. I have not mentioned yet that it hit 100 degrees here today. Every time we got into the car, it felt like the fiery furnace.
I rushed home to pack the kids to head over to Laurens so she could babysit while I got my hair highlighted. I can't stand getting it done (sitting for 2 hours is difficult for me) but it had been far too long.
When we got home it was time to get ready for VBS. Bryon put in a new digital thermostat in the house which is supposed to regulate the temperature better. It assumes that no one is home during the day so to keep costs down, it goes up to 85 degrees during the day. No relief from the heat! I will have to read the owners manuel this weekend and get it figures out!!
Tonight was my last night to guide. Tomorrow the kids will have a party and get to pet a real zebra. This is interesting...In my class of 20, I have a Matti, Maddi, Madalyn, and 2 Maddisons. Do you think this was a popular name in 1999-2000?
After VBS tonight, Bryon and I took the kids to a great ice cream place in town. They actually have cake batter ice cream and you know how much I love cakes! It is to die for.
Last swim lesson tomorrow...Last VBS...Yeah....
Had a thought.

Sounds like you need a break from summer time already! I don't know how you girls do it all and still have the energy to put together a sentence...
I can't sit still for two hours either. I do my own and get my husband to do the back....I didn't say it looks good, but it is bonding experience.
Except when he digs too much scalp!!
I have seen more and more churches doing their VBS at night. What are you thoughts on this vs. daytime VBS? Just curious! Thanks.
A full day indeed.....oh how I dread these 100 degree days!
TMK-
Our church has always done VBS at night. I think their is a need for both day and night VBS's. There is a lot of parental involvement for both moms and dads at night (of course a whole lot more moms!) and children who might be in day care during the day can go to VBS at night.
I don't have my hair highlighted--I can't sit still for 2 hours!
The 100 degree days are not fun.
Texas can really be nice in January though!
I love the name Madalyn--had no idea it was so popular.
Hope your VBS finale was a great one--I mean a zebra??
