I had a great week doing Vacation Bible School last week. I really enjoyed doing Missions this year! Today we had an appointment with the anesthia people for Carson's surgery coming up next week. I am very proud of the boys because they did a nice job waiting and being quiet while I talked with the nurse. This weekend we will be heading to mom's for a July fourth bash. It's always lots of fun. We go swimming and have a cookout and then shoot fireworks off in her driveway. I usually take my nephews and niece to buy fireworks even though they are plenty big enough to take themselves now (being that they are now 17-27). Guess it's just always been a tradition. Thinking of passing it off to someone else...agh who am I kidding? I like having a little control over the fireworks show. I feel like I have to pack half of what we own just to go for a weekend away though! Some storms came through last night and knocked some big limbs down in our backyard. I couldn't sleep due to the thunder and lightening. Hoping tonight will be better and more peaceful. On the agenda for tomorrow: return library books, laundry, and giving the dog a bath.
