...seriously, I tend to get more done on the weekends when Mike isn't home. We have no reason to break our routine of work and play and work and play. LOL
This a.m. found the chaplain spouses from our base at Denny's. It's amazing how we seem to congregate once a month at a breakfast hot spot. ::snort:: The big news today (if you didn't read the chat box in the sidebar) is that I will NOT be going to my number one hoped for spot - Italy. How can I be so sure? Another chaplain found out two days ago that he is to report to Italy ...and they weren't even expecting orders. Soon.....very soon....we'll begin making a lapbook of our new location....or so I told the kids. ::Snort:: Anyway, I told them to cross Italy off their dream list as it is unlikely the AF would send TWO chaplains from our small base to the same follow on base. I also explained that our best bet for an overseas assignment would have been when Mike was a Captain. There are simply more captain slots in general...than Major or etc. Trying to prepare them for Oklahoma....but they'll have none of it...sorry, Liz. Jared said if he has to leave his friends he wants to move FAR AWAY....not sure how to fight that sort of logic?!???!!
Zander told us today he is no longer praying for Paris. He's praying for Alaska. I smile and tell him, "We'll see."
Dinner is done. Kids are in bed....
I'm still working on HOW to make a book big enough for all the mini-books shaped like a longboat...this was playing around and the boys tell me it will not do at all.
They are heading for a boring folder book - whoever told them they could make them any shape they dreamed up???? I need directions. I made this shell and 4 inserts...but it's still not big enough for all the booklets....and I can't figure out how to join it all together anyway. I think I need to go look for the right tool in Mike's workshop. ::snort::
I have a new book that's calling my name...I think I'll sleep on this viking problem and go read, "Desperate Pastors' Wives". Catchy title, isn't it? ::snort::

De'Etta, here is a link for making the shape mini-books. Maybe you could just make a larger boat size shape book and put all the mini-books inside? Just a suggestions. Here is the link:

I do have to say that you are doing a fantastic job with your lapbooks. I know they aren't your favortie and I applaud that you are doing them with your younger children that do enjoy them.
I have to admit....Italy would have been my choice too. I'm sure God has something very exciting planned for your new adventure. Even if it is Oklahoma! You guys make exciting adventures no matter where you go, it seems.
As for the lapbook, I am laughing because I would need instructions as well.
Sis: Sorry but just wait to see what God has in store for you. Muxt be something neat. At least Dad/I then aren't ready to be dependents if you are staying in the States. :):):):) We aren't even thinking that direction.
love/prayers for the right place for you all!!

Debbie - this may be my best bet. LOL I wonder why I didn't think of THAT we make lots of shape books to put IN the lapbook. ::snort:: I was STUCK on using FOLDERS and nestling smallers ones inside....
Nolan has lost all faith in me and asked me, "Can we make folders like our election book" - which was cool.....but you know just looks like a BOOK nothing SPECIAL! ::snort::
I also think Oklahoma could be an adventure, Diann. Honestly it would be funny if they sent us there....I sort of chose that as a spot close to here and not as exotic as some of the options they've been discussing to diffuse disappointment if we don't go to their dream locations...I could say "well it isn't TX and it isn't OK"....but OK is growing on me. LOL
My family will be very disappointed if we don't go somewhere new (unless of course it's Alaska)....I guess that's a big perk of being military - seeing new things - so they really don't want to go to one of the other 28 Air Force bases in TX. LOL
Can't wait to see where you're headed.. I can't even imagine not knowing (LOL).
Step away from the Viking ship! Make the kids figure it out if they want a fancy smancy lapbook. :)
LOL Natalie...well...I'm trying to lure my youngest into learning and so I am not going to step away....but for the older boy....now that we have a template he is making his own. LOL
