Jared went off to scout camp last week.
I think he had fun.
I missed him.
Wes went up Monday night and stayed until Wednesday night to help out.
I didn't like being away from Wes for so long.
I might have given him a stamped, self addressed envelope and insisted that he write me while he was there. I'll leave the mushy stuff out but it was a sweet note. I might have teared up a bit.
I didn't even ask Jared to write me. I figured he would be too busy having fun to want to stop and write his mom.
All the other kids slept on the floor in my room the first night.
On Tuesday we went to the $1 movies.
That night I didn't have the kids sleep in my room so I could stay up late reading.
I love the freedom of sleeping in our room alone. I love being able to do whatever I want and not have to worry about if I'm keeping Wes up.
Somehow Kinsley ended up in my room anyways that night. So I stayed up late reading and then bright and early Kinsley popped her head up and said, "Hi Mom!"
Why!?!
Before Wes got home we went to the store and I let the kids each pick out a favorite candy bar for him. You would have thought he had been gone longer than three days by how excited we all were to see him!
Jared came home Saturday with some color, tired and stinky. Shower and a nap were the first things he did.
Then we woke him up and we all went to the lake.
Jared loved camp! He loved horsemanship. His horse's name was Jinglebob. Jared said that the horse sways to the song Jingle Bells.
And Jared loved swimming even though he said the water was frigid.
I love this kid. He makes my heart happy. I missed him when he was gone but I'm glad he had this chance to learn and grow on his own.
