Ramblings

Nothing really exciting is "happening" with the Holders right now. It is your typical family stuff right now.

After a crazy week of Backyard Bible Club and kids here nearly all day every day last week, we just hung out at the house as a family on Saturday. We watched watched a couple of movies and played video games. It was nice and relaxing to just have family time.

Sunday was busy at church. We had 20 visitors in 1st through 4th grade. For those that don't know....Chris and I serve at the 1st through 4th grade Children's Ministry desk during second hour. We greet and check in visitors and do the paperwork involved. It was crazy with all of those visitors, but a good kind of crazy. Nearly all of the visitors had attended a Backyard Bible Club the week before.

After church we ran to Wal-Mart for some groceries and ended up buying school supplies too. What an experience that was for me. We are sending all of the kids to school this upcoming school year. All of them are excited except for Austin. He still wants to be home schooled. We told him it is just for one year. I need a break and want to recharge myself. It was so strange to have to follow someone else's list. I see all of the stuff they "need" as a bunch of crap, but we will supply it for them. We only got stuff for Hannah and Matthew because we know for sure what school they are going to. We still don't know for sure if Rebeckah and Austin are going to get to go to school where we want them to attend. We have put in for an out of district transfer for Rebeckah and Austin and we are waiting to hear from the school to hear if they are in or not.

Rebeckah is not thrilled we are transferring her to another school. She loves the school she went to this past year and made a lot of friends. We, on the other hand, were not happy with that school. The school we want her to go to will have a total of 12 students in the 7th grade. The only thing that appeals to her is the fact that they offer guitar lessons as an elective.

Today was a cleaning day. The kids didn't enjoy that, but too bad! It needed to be done.

Well, how was that for exciting?
