Jean in Newcastle Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Was gone the bulk of the day in very wet and wild weather to go make a Costco run and then to drive an hour north for ds16 to buy a bass guitar and amp that he found advertised on Craig's List.

mom31257 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm back from getting the oil changed, and I've got one load of laundry in the dryer and the other just finished in the washer. I'm half done with my bedroom. I'm not going to make much headway with dh's stuff, though. I don't want to misplace something. He texted me this afternoon when he was close to boarding the plane in Tel Aviv. He arrives in Philadelphia at 5:30 in the morning, and in Atlanta at 10 AM. I can't wait to see him!

I have to ask about the Sparks Daycamp, though. Is that Awana? I've never heard of a day camp. What is it exactly? I ask because dh and I direct Awana, but last year was our first year ever doing it.

Rosie_0801 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Well, I tackled Audible about letting me download my files to this computer. I won. I tackled a program about converting .ogg to .mp3. I lost. I tackled iTunes about moving some audiobooks from there to my usb stick. I won on a technicality. I don't know how to tackle the technicality, so I lose. I think iTunes is made for people with more advanced technology than I own and I'll feel better when I've gone and washed the dishes because I can wield a kitchen sponge as well as anyone else and better than some. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it exactly? I ask because dh and I direct Awana, but last year was our first year ever doing it. Back from my busy day. To answer about sparks, it is the first level for 5-6 year old girls in girl guides of canada. The daycamp just means that her age level was not sleeping over night, but they spent all day today at the camp ground doing activities. As for my day, I had a long epsom salt bath, had a bite to eat, took a nap sort of (ds15 just doesn't know when the be quiet), picked up dd6 from camp, went to walmart and picked up some sterlite 3 drawer units for organizing toys, and then McDs on the way home because I really didn't want to cook. Now getting the youngers into bed, then ds15 is going to work on his lit homework and dd14 has asked for help with her latin homework while I clean up the kitchen before heading to bed. I work tomorrow morning at 10 am so no horribly early morning this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks is the K-2nd grade level of Awana, a Bible program that involves a lot of scripture memory and fun games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
