While Mom's Away!!

Well Ashlyn just wrote her post about going to Meru, and how much fun they had, it was quite a different story here at home!!!

I have never realized how much we do need Mrs. Rains! She is a hidden gem. While she was gone we starved, panicked, were confused, had nightmares, got dizzy, and just plain had a terrible time!! On Saturday afternoon for soul winning, we set out with high hopes. We all piled into the car, that is when we first were worried and started to doubt. There were three big boys in the back four in the middle and three in the front. Maybe we shouldn't do this.

At the end of soul winning we left the Rains with encouraging words like, don’t worry you guys can do it! Its only two more nights and then they’ll be home!  Early the next morning we stopped by for a surprising scene. There on the couch was Winnie crying, “Why did mom do this to us?” Taylor wearing an apron trying to do the dishes, and Zac was eating banana bread.

Taylor in his apron...

  Later at church, boy did we have problems! We set up the chairs backwards, put up signs up-side-down, and some people got confused if they were carrying stuff up to the Sunday school room or down. Emily who was supposed to acopmony the church services was so nerves she forgot where her fingers were.       

How we put the sign up... I think we need some help.

 Some how we made it through the day without getting hurt! (WoW) We even played a game of Mancala using coins instead of marbles.

Thank you Mrs. Rains for all you do! But please don't ever leaves us like that again!!!
