Stinking Bloom!

As you can see, we have a lovely bloom in Denver today.  Madison, Mommy and Daddy got up for school early as always, and just knew it was the day.  We saw last night before bedtime that it was looking close.  So there was much celebrating in the house, and as we were two time zones away from the actual plant, there was no smell whatsoever.

It was Wednesday, and a good one too.  Madison started her Wednesday night ballet classes today, something we'll have to get used to over the next year.  Each day after school, there's something to do, and now suddenly the spare time in the year is going to come... well, sparingly.

Tonight at KidPak we had a great night, one where Generation Praise took over praise, our kids hosted segments, and a guest speaker from our older kids did a fun message on friends and friendship.  To illustrate this, we showed how not to be a friend - something clearly shown by Indiana Jones' companion, Sapito.

Adios, Sapito!  We didn't show what happens to Sapito, of course.  But we did show Indiana Jones getting out of that tight spot.  And we kept with our theme even more so, getting kids to guess famous movie friends as well.  It was a fun night overall.

Did we mention the storms again? Yes, the same storms all day long.  Apparently it is some sort of tropical depression - lots of heat, and amazingly dense rain clouds, hanging so low you feel like you could reach up and grab hold of one.  Lots of rain today, but everyone made it to and fro safely.  It's been a very wet week!
