Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed

The family just got back from AWANA's (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed). It is a fun bible club class that meets on Wednesday nights. I am the Cubbies secretary and I keep track of 17 little Cubbers on paper. I am not a teacher in the class, I just figure out who is picking them up, what points they get, who needs patches and stickers, I do the potty breaks because I am in the hall anyway. I do paper work for about an hour every week. Fill out we missed you cards to the cubbers who did not show up, birthday cards to the ones that are coming up and so much more. John is a games leader for the whole AWANA's Ages 3 to 11. He plays games the whole hour and a half we are there. Last year Toni was a Cubbie and Mikey was a Puggle. This year Mikey is a Cubbie and Toni is in a new class called Sparks. Mikey memorizes shortened versions of scripture. Toni has to say the whole thing. It is like a work at your own pace kinda thing for Toni and Mikey does one scripture a week. Toni almost finished the book and I found out that this book was supposed to last all year for her oops...they should have warned her(kinda an overachiever don't you think?). She is amazing and has learned so much. She knows all her New Testament books in order and is now working on the Old Testament. I wish my camera had video on it...it does not. Mikey's fever stopped last night and he is normal as can be today. I love my God he is awesome.

Mikey and I went to Barnes-n-Nobles today for story time...way cool. The guy was like 70 years old and very entertaining. He sang songs with a Ukulele , and he had a puppet frog that spoke Spanish very well. He read two books and had fun with all the kids (there was like 30 kids around him). After that he passed out crayons and coloring pages. We will go back..I hope that guy is still there. I kept thinking..this guy is crazy, at his age with all these germs running around, yep totally nuts. But as long as he is that insane we will be going back.







So between getting up at 6 in the morning to get my daughter ready for school, grocery shopping in the morning with Mikey, Story time at 11, lunch, Two loads of laundry (one still hanging on the line), at the school from 2 to 3 to pick the kids up from school (By kids I mean Toni and the next door neighbor), and eating dinner at the church on wed(did I mention home made), then Awana's till 8....I am tired yet again. What a crazy busy day, I love Wednesdays though. I like that the whole family is involved in writing the word of God on little hearts every Wednesday. I love that God decided to keep me around to do more work for him. I understand that time is a gift and I am happy to spend my time doing Gods work.







Ahhhhh....now to relax a little, blog, watch a recorded TV show, put my feet up and start laundry again in the morning.
