Adventures :)

This morning I woke up feeling wonderful, more rested than I felt all of last week. I think Saturday school really threw off our schedule.

I had a bad case of crabbies for a few days last week....needless to say, I shared them with friends. Everyone seems to be good natured on this beautiful sunny Sunday though. Last night Kat and I had people over for games, it was very refreshing. We had people over for snacks and played taboo and chit chatted.

This weekend found us in a flurry of basketball events, we had two visiting teams fly in during blizzard like conditions on Friday. The teams played three games on Friday night and three games yesterday. The Jr. high games were a lot of fun to watch and they did awesome, they are very intense players. Our high school girls also did great....I never have been so enthused with basketball games, in fact when I was in high school I really dislike high school girls basketball. Last night the teams were all stranded here, due to bad weather.

Our sewer was thawed out and pumped out last Wednesday. We discovered yesterday that our pipe leading to our sewer tank is frozen solid (all pipes and tanks are above ground)...so we are still using the bathroom and showering, and washing dishes at the school. It is second nature to us now. :)

My highlight of yesterday was either hi-ya ing our back school door or chocolating Joann. The back door was caught by the wind and is broken so we aren't supposed to use it. However, we needed water (before we knew our sewer was frozen) and so we hauled water and need to use the back door....Kat and I couldn't get it shut so we had to jump and kick (hi-ya) we got the door shut and got a case of the giggles in the process...all bystanders wondered what in the world we were doing. Now chocolating Joann....we were making a brownie pizza to share with staff who game over for games, and we were going to drizzle chocolate over the top but the first batch didn't quite melt the way it was supposed to. I walked over and plopped the chocolate on Joann's head, it was amusing and we got Joann and other students to smile and laugh.

Last night around seven we had a knock on our door....a little girl had a very bloody nose, another kid punched her and she was crying and bleeding, Kat and I cleaned her up and shared a cookie with her, she left 20 min. later with a smile on her face.
This morning around 9:30 one of the highschool girls called to share a prayer request with me. It is just amazing to see the situations we find ourselves in and the situations all around us. We never know what to expect and we really are blessed to have what we have.

Please keep our kids in your thoughts and prayers...there are so many hurting kids.
