We got up early. I took the kids to VBS. Dillan was a helper in the kitchen and we heard he helped little kids in line and did well. Ashley helped with toddlers that were not in VBS proper and helped them with crafts and lesson. Dwyane and Bruce attended VBS. Afterward there was fun and games – and a bouncy house. Dwyane did a front flip and his leg bounced up and smacked his eye – really bad. Has a huge goose egg and bruising and its black and blue and purple and red. They iced it, we iced it, it’s horrible looking and swollen immensely and can’t get enough ice on it! I picked the kids up just after 3p and we headed home. At 4p I ordered Mill Street pizzas and the kids sans Dwyane and myself went to Bloomfield to pick them up. We also helped clean the house, along with Lesa. The kids complained a lot. Our dinner guests Adam, Tya, Wyatt and Eli arrived shortly after 5p and we chatted for a few, then we ate pizza, then the kids disappeared and us adults chatted some more. The dogs, specifically Bloom, were a little bit of an issue especially with Wyatt. The boys, theirs and ours, disappeared into the boys’ room and stayed there the entire night playing. Then we decided on playing Scrabble – team Scrabble since six of us wanted to play. Dillan and Adam, Ashley and Tya, Lesa and me. Dillan and Adam started strong and then faded, Lesa and I started out slow but took the lead, and then we barely lost to Ashley and Tya. By then everyone was tired so they left. We sent the boys to bed shortly after they left. Lesa asked to stay home from church and I said okay. Ashley is upset because she wants to go to church and wants me to take her and I said I’d let her know in the morning. She’s all about I must be a bad parent because I won’t let her learn about God. I was about she hasn’t read any of her D-Group Scriptures for the week so maybe she doesn’t have much room to complain? I checked Dwyane’s eye and it was still swollen and had a little bit of blood in the eye from a broken blood vessel. I’ll need to keep an eye on it. Dillan and Ashley started watching a movie, Ashley tanked and went to bed on her own, Dillan fell asleep and I sent him to bed, Lesa is upstairs reading, and I’m writing this status update and heading off to bed myself.
