Carabiners, Coupons, and Complete Calamity

Today was a beautiful day in Colorado - sunny and blue skies! About time, as most of the past week was wet, wet, wet! I spent the morning volunteering at my church office, making lots of carabiners for Vacation Bible School - I think I assembled close to 200 of them! OY!

Each card is a VBS lesson - "SonRock Kids Camp"

This is just the box I brought home...
the other 2 million are back in the office at church!

Safeway (the grocery store here in Colorado) finally started carrying Diet Sunkist Lemonade, a soda for which I have the ultimate weakness. I called Mom to rejoice, only to find the $5.99 price tag to be just nuts. I sadly put the case of soda back on the shelf. THEN, I received a $5.99 check in the mail from Mom and Dad, along with the note above!

WOOHOO! I love my Sunkist!
Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Lesson for the week: when leaving your bedroom window open during hurricane-like wind storms, be sure to remove, store, and/or protect the strings for your window blinds. If not, the photo above will fully illustrate the preposterous predicament you will find yourself in. Awesome.

You have the best parents in the world.

I really love your blogs. I think the kids at VBS are going to be very lucky someone took the time you spent on the carabiners - they look awesome.

I curse my blinds installer for putting all my strings on the same side of the window. They get tangled all the time, although I think yours takes the prize.

I didn't even know what a carbiner (is it a real word?) was...now I do.

We are doing the same VBS curriculum this year! I have the preschoolers. Haven't heard anything about the caribiners though...we have a pretty small budget. Maybe we are not doing those.
