VBS Week.

I can honestly say that even though I love being a part of the VBS week at Trinity, the best part of being there for that week, is just begin near my sister & girls. It's awful to be so far away from them! Sure, it's a pain to be living out of your suitcase, but hey - it's worth it!!

The entire week was a lot of fun! Of course, by Friday everyone is ready for the weekend! Except me, I knew the weekend would be the close of my visit!! :'(

On Wednesday afternoon, Cathy, Rachel and myself went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch, then wander around the mall a bit. I guess, THAT is the mall where Paul Blart 'Mall Cop' was filmed. It was pretty cool :)

One super-cool thing that happened is that I got to watch my sister lead worship at their church! In my opinion, it's a pretty big deal. I know it's nerv-wracking for her, just because of the size of the congregation and all of the attitudes that come into play. I thought it was super-cool and I think she did a wonderful job! (I'm so proud! *Sniff*Sniff*!)

When we got home last night, I just felt kind of disoriented. My house seemed so old and it was damp. Just from all the rain I suppose. I really think that we need to invest in a decent dehumidifier. The ride home.... well, it was typical. Craig yelling at me because he has no confidence in what direction/exit we're supposed to take.
"Are we supposed to go at this exit?!!"
"What exit did you take when you went home...without me?!"
"NOW is NOT the time to be a B!"
I swear...one of these days....

Nicholas was pretty funny... a couple of years ago after having dropped Katherine off for a week, she was NOT HAPPY to leave! She screamed her little head off...."TURN THIS CAR AROUND NOOOOOW!!" Yeah, that's Katherine. Nicholas took leaving pretty hard. He loves his cousins, especially Danielle, who is a mother hen type. When we were saying our goodbyes, he looked at Daisy and with these tears pouring down his face was saying, "Daisy, I have to go now...I live very, very, very, very, very, very, very (etc etc) far away" Obviously I couldn't witness this without shedding a tear of my own...neither could Stephanie! It was so heart-breaking!!

"...And the award for the most sorrowful farewell goes to..... NICHOLAS SIMONEAU!!" My poor baby.

He seems to think that we are going to be returning next weekend. Again; poor baby.

We did have a nice distraction of watching the 4th of July fireworks. They postponed them on account of the rain. Nicholas was completely freaked out by the thought of going to watch them. We just went up across the way to Montpeillier. They showed up nicely and it wasn't painfully loud.... so it was a good thing. :)

First thing this morning when the boy woke up: "How is Danielle's house today?" I really don't get what he was asking.

That's all for now. I'm unpacking and doing laundry for Captain Helpless. He had no underwear left. Do you think he could grasp the way the washing machine worked? He knows how it works....he lived without his mommy for long enough!!
