Last week was VBS every night from 6-9pm. And we've had thunderstorms the past 4 nights in a row, so the kids have been sleeping in our bed. (Correction: Hollie and Dennis have been crashing on the couch, while Mavrick has been sleeping in bed with me. If we put both kids in our bed, they fight over blankets, kick eachother, and bicker. Plus, they both sleep like fish out of water so it just doesn't work HA!)
Needless to say, we've all been pretty tired around here, especially the kids.
We also had a rodeo this weekend so on Friday night the kids didn't get to bed until after 11 (I didnt get home until after 2:00am) and Saturday we were at the arena all day, getting home around 9pm. So WAY too many late nights around here.
It is my goal this week to get them back on track with 8 o'clock bedtime!
On a better note, I have been booking quite a few photography sessions. Last week I photographed 1 year old twins. SO stinkin' cute! And they did awesome hamming for the camera :) And I also shot engagement pictures for my cousing T and her fiance. They also turned out really well. I will be sharing some images on my photography blog in the next couple days.
Tonight I took some pictures of VBS events at my aunt & uncles church, and will be taking a few more tomorrow evening. And I have a 6 month old booked for Friday evening which I'm really looking forward to :)
It doesn't look like things will be slowing down any time soon though. I am going to small group bible study on Monday mornings (which I'm thoroughly enjoying so far). I'm booked every weekend through July with photo sessions, the kids start 2 weeks of swimming lessons next week, and Bethany and Braden will be here this week so hopefully we'll get to spend a good amount of time with them too.
Hollie starts dance at a new studio on Thursday (we ditched the last studio due to a difference in opinion regarding labeling a 4 year old's toes "naughty" and telling her she's not HOllie, she's Barbie). So she's looking forward to getting to wear her tap shoes again :) The second week in July Hollie will be attending a week long day camp at her preschool, and around the 25th my good friend Amber and her family will be here to visit for a day or two! (We went to high school together in Alaska and haven't seen eachother since 10th grade. I'm not even going to count how many years ago that was so don't ask!) HA
So yes, the summer is turning out to be much busier than I'd hoped or expected, but how can I complain??
