Thursdays are our busy day. This one was a bit different.
I began with a workout and then ran up to the base with the 6 youngest ones to see this: 
After years of planning today was the ground breaking for a new Chapel Center on our base. Our Wing Commander said this is somewhat of a miracle as this is the first Chapel to be built on an Air Force base in the last 15 years.
Bizarre Can-can line? (Michael is 3rd from right, Father Jim is next to him in Uniform - back from deployment YIPPEE on Tuesday night, Our Wing Commander is in the white hat and the man in the suit is our congressman.
We came back home and did school (see post below). Then we dropped Jamin and Jared at HoF for their weekly ministry volunteer time. I made FOUR phone calls while they were gone - some of you KNOW how long it takes me to make a phone call! When I went to pick them up, I noted that the van was bouncing rather much. I was sure I was losing a tire - but wasn't. Still not sure what is up. I took Jamin to work. I drove Jared to CAP. Ch. B called and said he'd bring Jared home. MICHAEL CAME HOME!!! What a treat, he usually works until 9 or 9:30 on Thursday night. Thanks Ch. B, for the ride home - it sure was a special treat for us!
I was bummed that we can't do produce co-op tomorrow (low members), but this worked out great. Mike was home and I wasn't busy getting ready for co-op. Tomorrow a.m. we have a play date. It's good!
Tonight the fantastic four, Michael, and I played charades. Krista sent some decks of cards with transportation and community workers on them. We drew a worker from a hat and then acted it out. When we ran out of cards we kept going. Josiah came home and joined us. Ignore the red eyes, I need to load Adobe and learn to touch up photos. LOL
Nolan, the Pilot
Arielle, the Chef
I drew "religious leader" - I have the DK family Bible from the library in my hands
Michael, the Cowboy He had the OTHER hat on first, but I wasn't quick enough with the camera and he refused to do it again! We laughed until we cried.
The two little cowboys - note the OTHER hat
Cy, the Tamale Vendor - Bre & Krista brought the sombrero home from their Mexico trip

Synchronised trench digging! Do you think it will make the London Olympics?
Great pictures! I love those family moments. Charades -- fun, fun!
**Synchronised trench digging!
LOL I love it Dorothy!
Thanks, Kathy - yes charades have made a BIG comeback in our household....probably has something to do with the projector dying and needing something to do other than pizza and movies on Friday night. LOL Spurring us to think outside the box.
Looks like FUN!
