Orphan

Family Camp 1!!

I don't have a family this week, so I am officially an orphan for the week.  A camp orphan, specifically. I'm happy with that though.  It gives me so much more time in the craft room, and I need that time.  I'm fairly close to having it set up in a good way for the rest of the summer, and then it's just to basic organizing of all the random donated stuff.  A bunch of the boy staff are joking that they're going to apply for the craft room facilitator position next year and knock me from my post.  I would be scared that the room would explode if they were in there! They all mean it in good humor, but I'd like to see them try :D
                   

I made these little caddy's from bottle carriers for the craft room, and I just finished making a yellow one this afternoon.  They work so well for bringing kids everything they could possibly need.  As well as my craft room duties, I'm in a 4-5 year old chapel group.  While the parents are listening to a pastor, we have little lessons with the kids.  Last night we just went over the rules of camp, and of course, 4-5 year olds do not listen to that.  Little Toby Treptau started the kids in jumping on top of me.  Six of them just attacked me! I love little kids!! They are the best groups!! This week we also have a set of triplets, and they are so precious.  They like to try to push the big hanging swings, and two of them have already cut their lips when they've hit their faces on the wood.  We get them ice cubes, and then they're instantly quiet.  Smart kids!

Prayers for rain would be much appreciated.   Camp is having problems keeping water in the lake and with feeding the horses with the pasture grass.  They may have to use the hay set aside for winter, and that's not good.  Also prayers for staff health would be appreciated as well.  I'm better and doing great, but a lot of others are not.
