Why the heck am I up at midnight thirty?? Because I'm a good friend! Or should I say WE'RE (as in Keith and I) good friends. Jenni and Ted, our good friends and scout leaders are in charge of Cub Scout day camp...which starts tomorrow, asked for our help to sort the shirts, name tags and wrist bands. Never did we realize what a hassle that would be! They came over around 7pm and brought dinner. I had already helped get all the name tags punched out to be laminated and them cut out after that and put onto lanyards. Yummy pizza, then straight to work. Organized the shirts into sizes, had to open all the individually wrapped wrist bands and match name tag to shirt size then to wristband color, then wrap them all together. This was repeated 277 times throughout the night. Problems arose when we realized the person who ordered the shirts did not order the right sizes, nor amounts! We are short 20 kids shirts, plus a numerous amount of kids are in smalls, instead of mediums and others in adult small instead of youth larges. Oh such a mess! Still haven't come up with a solution yet.
We survived on lots of caffeine and sugar tonight, but we're going to be dragging our butts tomorrow. I said the first 2 events need to be nap time for us! Jenni and Ted still have a bunch of stuff to do as well, so they'll be up later. Not sure why they didn't start any of this sooner, but glad we were able to step in and help...even if it meant sleep deprivation.
Kaden was up until 10:30 and Salem didn't go to be till almost 11pm. They're going to be a pain tomorrow, I'm sure! Tony (J&T's) son was here and they were outside playing till 9:30 and then in watching a movie. They're all going to be in trouble tomorrow though, as I saw my peonies were TRASHED!! Stems are all over the yard and sidewalk, leaves all over as well. I know Kaden was riding throught hem, but the other kids had bats and I think they used them on my flowers! Sure the peonies were not blooming anymore, but the leaves are pretty to look at until the fall. Now it's a total mess. Can't wait to see what sunlight will bring...and the talking that will come after.
Okay, I'm totally exhausted, must climb the stairs to sleep!!
Oh, phooey on all you who sent out pictures! There will be paybacks for everyone doing it but me! (as soon as I get some free time next week to send them)
