Just a quick blog to let the faithful know that we are still alive but really busy right now. I blogged about our trip to the Olympic National Rainforest (which I am still giddy about), but after that we had Rose Festival, playtime with Auntie Tutu, Father's Day, some birthday fun for mommy, camping last weekend, and now we are doing day camp.
Day Camp has been a trip, in a hippie, "oh my goodness", type of way. I volunteered to help with Girl Scout Day Camp, never heard back, volunteered again, never heard back, and all of sudden I am in charge of songs and games. Okay. I have questions, no answer. I still have questions, no answer. I get a phone call thanking me for volunteering and I was finally able to find out what I needed to know. Yes, the kids can come-they have their own special unit for little ones under 5 years of age (only for counselor kids). Yes, it is a week I am available. Yes, I can pretty much do what I want. So I dust off my counselor stuff, totally stoked because I thought those days were behind me. And I get tripped out because the last time I helped at Girl Scout Day Camp, I was an aide in the unit especially for little kids under the age of 5. And here I am, many years later sneaking peaks at my own kids in the unit I last was in. Wow.
But the most important part is that we are all havaing. Asa loves having kids his own age to play with, however the only way we can get him to wear his camp t-shirt is to put it on OVER a dinosaur t-shirt. Noah is being carried everywhere and snuggled by all the aides who think he is sooooo cute. He is getting used to that treatment rather easily and next week will be very hard on him. I am loving getting to sing my old camp songs and since the kids are "gone" all day (but I can see them so it isn't really gone), I get to eat lunch without anyone crying and have real conversations with people my heighth!!!! I know all three of us will be sad when camp ends!!!
