What a week!

I really do not know where to start with the description of our week. I guess I will start with Monday. (Beware this could be long!)

Monday- Tyler had his end of year Upward Basketball Celebration. It was lots of fun! They had brought in a guest speaker (some Aggie!) that could spin 10 basketballs on his body. The kids think he is amazing, me ...I think he is a little weird. Anyway, he did an invitation at the end of his performance. It was real traditional, all heads bowed all eyes closed kind of invitation. Apparently, Tyler was hanging on his every word (see previous blog) and he prayed the prayer of salvation along with the now "Wonderful Aggie Basketball guy." (who is still a little weird in my book) Awesome night! As we leave the celebration we are greeted with huge snowflakes falling from the sky! We have had NO WINTER WEATHER all year, so this was a great surprise. After a few snowballs we all went to bed.

Tuesday- Those boys came beeboppin' out of their room earlier than normal singing "It's a snow day, It's a snow day..." only to have me totally burst their bubble and say "Yes, but we still have to go to school!" That was met with simultaneous "WHAT!" Yes, just because there is snow on the ground does not mean we do not have to go to school. Too bad! I knew full well that we would never get a snow day on TAKS week. So my disappointment was limited! Tyler looks outside and says, "Mom, I think this snow is so pretty! Maybe is is God showing me how happy he is of my decision last night." Now I am crying and I say I think you are right buddy! A friend of mine said it was confetti from heaven!

Wednesday- (Are you still with me??) I will try to make this short. We visited with our Children's Minister before church so she could talk to the boys about some questions they had been asking. We told her that Tyler had prayed the prayer on Monday, only for Travis to pipe in and say that he did too. She asked all the questions and they BOTH had all the answers. Travis ended up praying with us to accept Jesus. It warmed my heart about as much as it did the first time I held them. My boys are growing up and this was a true glimpse of the fine young men they will become. AWESOME! The story of Wednesday does not end here... Bill and I let the boys go play in the gym before their class and we head off in our different directions. About 10 minutes later Travis comes running into the nursery to say that Tyler has fallen, hit is head and is bleeding. GREAT! I sprinted, ok jogged, to the gym (thank goodness we have a small church). He is laying on the ground with the same minister wiping the blood off his face. This is a vision no mother ever wants to see. To spare you all of the details, we go for x-rays and nothing was broken and no concussion. WHEW! He is pretty beat up and bruised, but nothing that slowed him down for too long.

Thursday- I was dreading a meeting that I was supposed to go to and Guess what it was SNOWING AGAIN! No meeting!! HOORAY! Bill drove through about 8 inches in Frisco, we only got 1-2 inches. More confetti from heaven!

Friday- NO SNOW NO DOCTORS, lots of sleep to recover from this crazy week we had!
