the morning after

excuse the no pic post. all my pic's are on chris's camera. which is with him at the house.

i am sitting here, chilling with my mother mug of coffee (huge mug) relaxing, thinking, reflecting while nate naps.

chris is spending this cold, fall sat at the house, where he is mudding my loft. yes, it's mine. i have claimed it.

i went over to see the progress on the house this morning. i have not been there since monday. holy moly batman. they put 76 sheets of drywall up yesterday alone. it's looking like a house. atlas, i have no pic's right now. take my word for it. it's looking like a house!

conference stuff- we are SO FREAKING HAPPY! last night was the first night of the church conference. this year we did something completely new with the kids. instead of the normal fun and games. i felt that the time had come to expect more from them. sooooo after much talking to god and praying i felt (and chris too) that we would host the first evah kids conference.

we put the tables in a horse shoe shape, gave them douotangs, pens, papers and gasp taught them. i found this amazing book with a fun way to teach the bible basics and voila. i admit i was almost puking yesterday. i was SO nervous. i was scared that the kids would hate it and it would be a total flop.

i held my breath....how would the kids take to it????

THEY LOVED IT! seriously, they adored it. they took notes...yes, 7 yr olds were TAKING NOTES. we taught them the basics of the bible, you know chapters, verses, how to find stuff etc... we actually ran out of time. we did not play 1 game. the kids did not want to leave. they wanted more notes, more fun facts, more knowledge.

so, as i sit back and sip my coffee the morning after. i can say this. yes. yes, it was worth the time i put into it, the prayers, tears, the stress, the planning. yes, i will do it again.

i hope to have pic's tonight.

nate and the nursery- so i took him to the nursery last night, he was not feeling the best, throwing up and skipped him pm nap. i was a bit on the leary side. so when i went to pick him up 3 hrs later. i was greeted at the door by one of the wonderful nursery workers. she said "mel, guess what?"

me??? i was thinking oh no

her-"mel, nathaniel is free from what ever it was that held him back. your son is free" i got the report. he spent the 3 hrs playing with the other babies, running around, playing with toys, eating his snack etc... both workers could not get over the change in him. i am SO glad that i did not give in to my own guilt, and made him stay each sunday. now nathaniel loves the nursery. even 3 hrs past his bed time!
