Game Night

 Jordan was finally home for one of our Sunday School game nights. She and I were so excited. Both of us love playing games. Garrett normally provides the majority of the board games, but this time he also brought his Mrs. Pac Man video game. Like literally. He used a dolly, but it in the van, and wheeled it in to set up in the corner. Wow! I didn't have a chance to play, but I wanted to.

Jordan brought Root and got six of us to play with her. She really likes that game. It is VERY intimidating though. The rules are literally a BOOK. I played the vagabond, which is the character I played the last time for her graduation so I already knew a little about what I was doing. Jordan worked with everyone else to understand their character. It took us forever to really get going. Everyone seemed to like it, but it's a lot of work to play. By the end of the game, I feel like I could play pretty easily now. At least the character that I have. I'm starting to get the gist of the entire game. It's not my favorite game though. I feel like it's one of those games where you spend more time internally planning your strategy and don't really get to interact with the other people playing. I prefer the games where everyone is working together to solve something or where it's an easy enough game that you can talk while playing it.

I really want to host a game night at our house with our friends again. Not sure when. It's a lot of fun to get together though.

VBS Family Night

We had an amusement park atmosphere for family night of VBS. First the kids sang a few songs from VBS and then Brother Bob presented the gospel to the parents. Then we headed in for inflatables, balloon creatures, face painting, crafts, cotton candy, popcorn, and pickles! The girls had a blast. They missed the pony rides, but were grateful that the ponies stayed home and didn't get drenched in the total downpour right before the event! Practicing while waiting on the other kids to arrive. A - Admit to God that you're a sinner and repent. B - Believe that Jesus is God's own son. C - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. It's the ride of your life when you dare to believe in Jesus Christ!!

Vocabulary Words

After report cards came back, we realized that it might be a good idea to study for the vocabulary test instead of just the spelling words. Now we're snapping a picture on Wednesdays of the vocabulary and taking pre-test on it too. Just making sure we can read the definitions is helping a lot. Seeing lots more 100s on the test now.

Traveling

I'm amazed at how much we drive. I took this picture leaving school today. Wasn't it just a year or two ago that I took the picture of the odometer at 12345? We actually travel less than we used to. Monday and Tuesday is normally just to Elgin and back home. Wednesdays have us driving to school, Lawton, and then to home. The same thing happens on Thursday for gymnastics, piano, and dance. On Friday we just go to school and back home. Then on Sunday we go to church in Lawton. To some people that is a lot of driving. It doesn't really seem like it to me. But I guess the odometer doesn't lie.
