Thankfully, I had a laundry weekend and most of it was caught up. Monday night I took the kids to my dad's for a shower and a toilet. We hauled 5-gallon pails and milk jugs of water back home. Tuesday morning, I took a
Finally yesterday, Thursday, our water conditioning company installed a rebuilt water conditioning unit and our water was completely restored! We were overjoyed! The weather has been absolutely sultry here in WI this week, with temps in the 90's, but feeling like 110-degrees with the heat index.

Why I Don't Let My Kids Play Pokemon Go may seem radical to some. Yeah, it's just a game, but Amanda reminds us to not let our guard down.
Whether your children are heading back to a brick and mortar school or school at your dining table, 30 Days of Prayer for the New School Year is a great post with ideas for prayer for our kiddos and the upcoming year school year.
Speaking of kids, ours had VBS this week and I'm tired. I was assigned nine-ten preschoolers for three hours each day...YIKES! I did have to bale out yesterday to meet with the water conditioning guy, see above story. Hopefully, I can finish strong today.
Cave Quest is the theme and of course, the kids love crawling in and out of the cave....
We just finished Cave Quest last week. I'm still tired 2 days later! I had Bible Adventures for 3-5yr olds. We had 68 preschoolers broken into 4 groups. Add my crew of 5 kids to get to VBS daily. Yep. I'm wiped.
