Daniel saved all of his AWANA bucks this year in hopes of buying that spiffy new skateboard. It was almost 100 AWANA bucks. He earned them by learning about 4 verses every week. Last week was the last meeting for the year and store night. So guess what Danny brought home?Friday, May 30, 2008

Things We've FINALLY Gotten Done!
1. Shrubs. We've bought all of the new bushes for the front of the house. That might sound boring to some people, but really, how often to you get a chance to design all of your own landscaping. Usually you just inherit whatever came with your house. This was fun! The best part, two weeping Japanese maples (on sale!).
2. PTA. I'm caught up on newsletters, calendars, membership duties and correspondence. Yahoo! Our elementary school finally got 100% membership, with only a month to spare! Just one more issue to get out and I'll be done for the year.
3. Soccer Party. 10 wild boys + 200 water balloons + 1 swimming pool + 80 hotdogs + cake + 1 sunny day = a great soccer party.
4. Invitations. My brothers, their wives, Brad and I are helping to throw a 40th Anniversary party for my parents in June. Everyone has been working hard at the preparations, but I've kinda been slacking. But Shutterfly is printing up the invites as we speak.
5. Laundry. Wohoo - It's only Monday and I'm done with the laundry from last week. It's a small victory, but one I'll be proud of!
6. VBS Gear. At the bookstore, I stock up on VBS themed goodies to sell during VBS registration. Well, Oriental Trading came through with flying colors this year by offering tons of Power Lab science toys. Need a bouncy ball that lights up? Gooey slime? And later this week... VBS t-shirts arrive! Hopefully this will stir up some business.

Camp Piankatank
Last summer Danny wanted to go to a "camping" camp. And he was really serious about it. He wanted to go on the internet and find one himself! So we did some research and found Camp Piankatank. A camp with a funny name has to be great! So he went all by himself, slept in a cabin, cannoed in the Piankatank River, climbed a rock wall, spent all of his money at the camp store and had an amazing time. We sure were proud of our little guy!
