Well it's looking like there's no way that we're gonna be able to move to our new domicile before the Mexico trip. I know you were worried about that for me and I thank you for your concern. I hear that there is a major hurricane headed for the resort area where we are planning to go so it looks like maybe we will have to change our destination if the place we were planning to go to no longer exists. The lack of actual physical buildings there could prove to be an obstacle to our leisuretime enjoyment of the resort.

In other news around the globe, I am still alive and have all 4 limbs intact after the first night of VBS. This is the craft we did last night. They give you a book with suggested crafts for the theme which this year as I mentioned is Safari/Jungle. However, after years of trial and error, I have found that it's easier to stick with easy stuff rather than trying to glue cotton balls and toothpicks to toilet paper rolls and paint them orange to make a tiger puppet. I will be doing some other cool stuff like this and this that is related to the jungle theme. Thank you Lord, for Oriental Trading Company and their craft kits. I highly recommend them for any kid related activities, church or not.

Can someone please tell me that this bossy stage my girls are going through is a passing phase? They are so freakin pushy it's makin me nuts. They start commanding and demanding the minute they get up and don't stop even when they're in bed at night. I do make them say please and thank you and I tell them no more often than not (then watch them throw a hissy fit) but they do stuff like yell "Mommy, stop!" if they don't like what I'm doing and also, if I'm trying to have a conversation they are constantly interrupting to try to have my attention all the time and I have to keep correcting them. NERVE WRACKING!! Sheesh.

I would never put on my iPod and turn it up to tune out the wailing. That would just be wrong.
