The weekend was a whirlwind but so much fun. Jay came home Friday night and Jackson was SO happy to see him Saturday morning. He basically got hysterical crying anytime Jay put him down (which is not so great for Jay's injured back.) Saturday we went to Ryan's surprise party and Jackson loved seeing Aunt Shonda. Then Jay and I went with Lesley and Cameron to see Joel McHale (from The Soup) live. . .it was AWESOME. He was so funny and Ashley stayed with Jackson for us. THANKS ASH!!!
Sunday we went to church and then just relaxed! Monday started VBX (Vacation Bible Extreme) at Chase Oaks and I was teaching first grade. I had 15 7 year olds and it was a serious challenge. I am now amazed by elementary school teachers. It should have been a serious clue when I got my class roster and one of the women said "wow, you've got 5 of the wildest boys in the 1st grade all together." Of course I dismissed it assuming that growing up with brothers had adequately equipped me. How very flawed my thinking was didn't punch me in the face until several of the boys were punching each other. After several attacks, many smacks, indian rug burns, head locks, punches etc. I realized I was seeing into my future of being a mother of a son (or sons depending on how God has things planned). Even more confusing was the fact that after beating each other and then coming to tell me they would cry if I separated them b/c they are "best friends as good as brothers and needed to sit together!!!!" The experience overall was awesome and I was even able to witness to a little girl who wasn't a Christian and had never been to church. Today was the last day and I will miss the kiddos but will be very happy for Jackson to be back on his schedule. He had a great time in the nursury but missed his naps. His teachers were really great though and gave him lots of love which I really appreciated. We have a really incredible church and the more I volunteer there the more I love it.
Jay came home today and we are looking forward to a great family weekend. Jen and her kids also came into town today so I'm sure I'll have tons of kiddo pictures up in a few days. Seeing Jackson with Mia and Lennon is just amazing.
