CaMpInG...???

It's finally fall around here:

A youth pastor's family always has opportunities for crazy outings ADVENTURES. That being said, one must learn that the youth pastor's wife doesn't always have to say YES!!! This is something that I seem to be learning the hard way. That stubbornness that I see in my toddler...guess he does get it from me! I guess I struggle between wanting time with my husband and attempting to be that adventurous mom of boys that I'm going to have no choice but to be. I've already decided, now that I know I will be outnumbered, that I'm not going to FIGHT them, I'm going to JOIN them! Of course my boys will have times that they will go out & about and do things that Mom can stay home from & enjoy bubble baths and a quiet house, BUT when the opportunity comes I will be ready for some adventure with my fellas. I'm thinking however, that I don't have to be so eager to get started. The time will come on it's own. Channing loved it on the first day when it was warm enough for him to play & run around. That night however, I did something I didn't think I would ever do...slept in my car. Not only that but slept in my car at 20 WEEKS PREGNANT!!!! Nuts, I tell you. I'm absolutely nuts! But, we made it through  and came home the next morning. I MIGHT do it again when it's warmer, but it will take some serious thought before I agree.
