Colby left this morning for his first camp! He is over the moon excited and i have so enjoyed all the questions and talks and excitement this week! He is with a group of kids from church and our children's pastors {who by the way are FABULOUS}!! They went to Camp Baldwin in Alabama and have a full day of fun ahead of them!! He will be home tomorrow morning...so it is only one night and while it is so difficult to let go and let him grow up it is such a blessing to watch at the same time! So its 7am, we're all dressed and ready and heading out the door ON TIME! Here is our camper on his way out the door.....
Colby on his way out the door & Brayden excited for bubba!
Colby on his way out the door & Brayden excited for bubba!And then it happened. The door to the house was closed {and locked} and we are all standing at the car waiting for the car doors to be unlocked. Only, John didn't have the keys. And neither did i. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Anyone out there know what it feels like to realize it is 7am, you are supposed to have your child to church to leave for his first ever camp that he is soooo excited about, and you are locked out of your house and out of your car?!? UGGHHHHH! So we called a friend who came and rescued us after having to get her little one up out of bed, called one of the children's pastors to let them know, and waited in the disgusting humidity for our rescuer to arrive! It was so nasty.....think sauna but you are dressed in jeans and a t shirt....GROSS!! And on top of it all, Brayden steps on a stick in the front yard and cuts the bottom of his foot. Fantastic. ha! Check out my 3 favorite people who were all kinds of not happy at this point......
3 not so happy guys & brayden showing me his boo booHaHa!! While it was so far from funny in the moment, i can now laugh about it! Colby made it to church and is now at camp having a blast and we are in our nice air conditioned home! {after a visit from the locksmith who even though he charged $45 for 1 minute of work was my best friend!} Just when i think i have it all together........=)

Oh, that's the pits when that happens! Been through it myself! It so easy when you're rushing around with tons on your mind to simply forget. Glad it all worked out in the end...minus the $45 charge! OUCH!
You know what I love?
The fact that neither of you had the keys---but you definitely had a camera!
Ahhh----a mom after my own heart!
How awful! Glad that Colby made it to camp!
He always keeps us humble, right?! ; )
colby away at camp?! ahhhh...i can't take the growing up sometimes! =)
oh bless your hearts! So glad he made and I love the pics...how fun this will be to look back on :-)
Seems likes these days have been going around! It's humbling how HORRIBLE it is in the moment, and then so not really ANYTHING once you are outside of it.
Is Colby still gone?! That's gonna be hard for me. But knowing he's having a blast must make it easier.
Um...and your "critter" post below....I almost just threw up in my mouth. I can't stand it.
I.WOULD.FREAK.
You are one brave Momma!
