So...this morning we were packing for our week away.
We just had a hard time getting it together last night. It wasn't that much easier this morning, but I used a technique I got from Mentor M that he uses at home. Each boy would be assigned one task and then they had to "report back for duty". We made it into a kind of game.
At one point they were "at ease" and Younger Boy decided to throw a ball at Older Boy. Older Boy freaked out. I asked Younger Boy to apologize and instead he went in the laundry room and dispensed laundry detergent all over the laundry room floor. Not really what I wanted/needed to be doing this morning.
I wasn't sure we would make it to church. Things were just not going well. Finally the boys loaded the car with their stuff and we were off.
Prayers for...Friend C who is taking care of Older Boy all week. Also for a safe week at camp for everyone.
Praises for camp...a safe place where foster kiddos can go and feel God's love.
