I got up on Sunday morning and went to church to drive one of the vans. The weather was a bit hot and sticky. The afternoon was spent getting things done around the house and paperwork (like bills).
Monday was back to the weekly schedule. The weather was hot, so Malachi and I got to sweat in the heat while sitting in the car during Mysia's piano lessons. That evening, the kids worked on homework.
Tuesday was an exciting day. My place of employment, KWFC, was awarded "Radio Station of the Year" by the National Quartet Convention Music Awards 2013. This is a great honor! Voted by the industry leaders, this makes us the #1 Southern Gospel Radio Station in the nation... WOW! That evening, to celebrate, we went out for supper at one of my favorite places, Hu Hot. After eating as much as we could, we went home and the kids worked on homework, took showers, and got ready for bed.
Wednesday evening was nice. I taught the lesson for children's services at church. Using my puppet "Ace", I shared the story of Moses and the bronze serpent in the wilderness and tying it with Christ on the cross, how we are to also look to Him in faith. Of course, Ace came alive and grabbed the kids' attention with the help of Malachi's toy snake. Sometimes I wish I had more time to get Ace to connect with the children, I enjoy how using the puppet and personality to get their attention.
After work on Friday, we had a PTA meeting at school. The kids played on the school playground afterwards, then we came home and got ready for bed.
Saturday was the BIG day! We got up early, ate breakfast, and hit the road. We spent 3 hours in the van until we made it to Kansas City... To visit Lego Land for Malachi's birthday! There was so much to do. We were a little tour on how they blocks were made, and then the fun began. We rode a shooting ride that let us help Lego characters fight off the bad guys, and then another ride that took us in the air. We built cars and vehicles, racing them against others. It was also Star Wars days, so we got to meet many of the characters as they walked around. After eating our lunch, we went to see a 15 minute movie in "4-D". In addition us wearing the 3-D glasses, the movie sprayed us with water, blew air into our faces, and dropped soap bubbles from the ceiling while we watched. We also received posters and the kids got buttons. By 3pm, we were tired and ready to head home. The kids rested and watched a movie before we did a stop at Walmart for a few items. Once home, we put things away and went to bed. Malachi declared that it was another "best day of my life!"
