six minus three plus two

So this weekend the hormone scale swung the other direction. The boys all went to the snow. Alex and Kaleb went to winter camp at...... Lassen Pines! Yes a shout out to my Inger girl. Ryan went with two buddies for an overnighter and a day at the snow. So my husband thinks out loud, " Maybe Ashley would like to go to a friends house?" No she wouldn't . She quickly invited two of her good friends here. LOL totally not what he had planned. Being as I would be gone in the evening I am sure he was so excited. I walked in at around 10 and he was reclining on the couch, zoning. The girls had just put a batch of brownies in and from the sound of the high pitch giggling they weren't going down any time soon. I laughed and crashed out on the couch next to him. Well surprising things happen. At around 11 those girls were out cold. I guess that is what happens when you run an engine full out as fast as you can. It comes to a screeching halt.
I hope the boys are having a great time at camp. Kaleb was a little sad. O.k. he was completely a mess when they left but God is good. His counseler was none other than the amazing Gary Warner. One of the alltime best guys I have ever met. He and Darin are good friends and he is very loving. I just hope Kaleb realizes what a gem of a guy he has. Alex is fine. Alex is the same kid who went to Hawaii for a month with my parents. It was tough but I knew he would be fine .. Kaleb is his daddy's boy. If my mother-in-law reads this I am sure she is having flash backs to Darin on a bus to camp and her in the bushes. LOL That makes me laugh! Not being mean I just know once they get there they will be having fun. Oh and mom frustrating moment when I realize that yes all my boys will be warm and have plenty of clothes, I left their Bibles and notebooks at home. I panicked when I realized this and called Darin who convinced me I wasn't the worst parent ever and the kids would survive.. Well thats enough for now.

Preston is at camp too. I'm sure they all had a good time and Preston didn't pack his bible either. He is the 3rd child though so I didn't even worry a bit.
