uncommon weekemd

This weekend was our youth groups UNCOMMON weekend. They spend the weekend at a host home and have several worship services, fun outings & a service project.

Morgan has been involved for the last 2 years but this year I decided to be a host home. We were suppose to have 7 girls but on Friday that number grew to 11…yes, 11! I will admit at first I freaked out a little…ok a lot…I mean I started twitching just thinking about all the bags/clothing/crap that was going to be all over my living room. Have I mentioned before that I tend to be a little OCD? I believe that everything has a place, and I like for things to ALWAYS be in that place. So you can see why the twitching started:) I knew everyone would be sleeping in the living room floor, but I came up with the great plan to have all the girls store all their bags & such in McKinley's room…where I could close the door & not look at all the stuff:)

YIKES!!!

But I have to say they were the BEST group of girls. It was a really smooth weekend and I would have them all back in a heartbeat.  Although next time I will monitor the chocolate chip cookie intake of the group. I think they ate about 3 dozen or so over the course of the weekend. If you think boys eat more than girls think again because these girls can and did put it away.

 I think we went through 7 bags of chips.

The above picture was where they all slept.

Here is some of the group

They did a service project at Lighthouse ministries on Saturday:

In all, it was a great weekend and now I am off to take a nap…after I straighten up the house :-).

Enjoy the beautiful day.
