I’m not quite sure what happened last night except to say now me, Scott, Emma AND Lexi are going to youth camp in two weeks. S&S came over last night (why do all my friends have the same initials. it makes things quite confusing) with their two kids J&J (geez, ok, their kids have the same initials too–one is 7 year old girl and the other is 4 year old boy). We had a great dinner. I made a roast and potatoes and they brought mac & cheese and green beans. Lexi slept through dinner which made it even easier and the other kids sat at our coffee table and took care of themselves. Emma had SO much fun with them. She almost literally passed out after I got her pajamas on and had her sit with me in the recliner after the left. So we had some church talk and we realized Scott and I are sort of their sounding board. Which is cool because they don’t have that with many people from the church. I’m glad they feel comfortable enough with us and trust us enough to talk about stuff. We had another camp leader come over after dinner to go over camp stuff. In the meantime, I STILL really want to go. And they REALLY need people to go. 40 kids and only 4 adults going with them. So by the end of it, I had agreed to go and bring Carla with me to watch the kids which surprisingly agreed to do. Which I’m actually really excited about. I have to call up to the camp today to find out details to see if it makes sense to take kids up there. I don’t want to take them if they’re just going to end up stuck in the room. Definitely don’t want that. But if they are able to go to a playground and have somewhere to watch some tv, then it will be good I think. Like a mini-vacation.
