A Weekend as Dorm Parents

Hello everyone! I just wanted to give you an idea about the work we are doing. So this is what we did this weekend:

Saturday- I woke up at 5:15am to take my dad to get a taxi to go to the airport. Went home played with tyler for a bit and fell asleep for about 30 minutes. Took 2 boys to school at 7am to get ready for Shoppers Day. Shoppers day is a big thing at Faith. They have outside vendors come to sell all different kinds of goods. Also the classes do many fundraisers. Went home and got ready to leave again. Took Kim and Kids to the school for shoppers day. Shopped a bit and watched kids as Kim shopped a bit. Then went home to get the rest of boys at 10:15am. Picked up 10 boys and returned to school. Shopped again till about 1pm. Relaxed a little bit with Kim's parents. Kim started to get sick. We all had a stomach bug this week that just was not pleasant. It was Kim's birthday present. Went with Kim's dad to pick up our TV that was struck by lightning. Then returned to school to pick up the boys and bring them home from shoppers day at 3pm. Went home and helped out with the kids. 5pm drove 4 boys to a birthday party. Came home and had dinner. Got kids ready for bed and put them to bed. Answered many phone calls and texts, caught up on email and face book. Went to mall to develop pictures for dorm activity on Sunday. Came home did more facebook. Talked to one of our boys till about 12:10am. Went to bed at 12:15am. We had 4 guys sleep over. Abby woke up during the night at 2:30am wanted milk.

Sunday- Tyler woke up at 5:30am. Got up about 6:15am. Woke up the boys at 6:30am. 6:45am took 15 boys to A4J (a children's ministry for the neighborhood kids from 7am-9am. About 400-450 kids show up each Sunday morning.) Got home about 7am and got Tyler settled. Kim woke up feeling much better. We got ready for church. Left for church at 10am and got home about 12:30pm. Had our Pastor and family over for lunch. So we had 22 people for lunch. They stayed to about 3pm. Got ready for all dorm event. All dorm event was 5pm-7:30pm. All 5 dorms met together for a BBQ and picture scavenger hunt (that Kim and I planned). Got home about 7:45pm. Put kids to bed. Now I have been emailing, face booking, and blogging. It is currently 11:07pm. I will probably will be up till at least midnight.

So... that was the weekend. Fun times. I just love weekends!

Christmas in September

About 1 1/2 weeks ago we received some boxes that we shipped from home. We founds lots of toys that Tyler and Abby were so excited to see. It was like Christmas. It was great to see them so excited. Larry and Kim were excited to see some of their stuff too.
