A Day With the Gray's

I know, I know! I have fallen far behind in bloggy land.  I am pretty sure I am down to maybe 2 followers:) What's the deal...  Well... It has absolutely nothing to do with  CRYING BABIES THAT HATE TO TAKE BATHS  OR FALL FESTIVALS   OR ZOO FIELD TRIPS     BONFIRE, BIRTHDAYS, AND LOTS OF FOOD AND FUN WOULD NEVER GET IN THE WAY..                  OR AFTER SCHOOL "I GOT NOTHING TO DO" BLUES   IT WOULD NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT MY SON INSTEAD ON SPENDING EVERY WAKING HOUR OUTSIDE PLAYING...   OR TEACHING COLIN TO RIDE HIS BIKE   AND, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER WOULD SOCCER PLAY A ROLE IN IT.. OK, So maybe it does:) But, lets face it... sometimes there are just more things important than blogging and  These 3 blessings  have everything  to do with it!

 We had so much fun last night as our church family kicked off their new CD The God We Praise ! Much thanks to my boss  and coworkers for letting me leave work a little early:) Chad, Bethany, and I met up with the wonderful ladies from our small group at Dairy Queen for a little din din THEN we headed to the sanctuary for SUCH A NIGHT OF FUN!!  There is nothing like starting the service off with a little cell phone challenge and duct tape:) The elders were given a cell phone number and they had to call it and try to locate who's phone was ringing in the worship center...FUNNY! Some didn't even know how a cell phone worked! Then we moved on to the Duck Tape challenge! (Chad was chosen to participate in this challenge) The teams had a set amount of time to duct tape their elder to the columns in the church. Then.... We Waited.... to see who's elder fell first:) Sad to report Chad's team didn't win:( Is that fear on his face?!?! Great night full of friendship, fun, la...
