This is getting old

The sun this morning was bright and hot. It was looking like maybe it would work out today... but during the ride to Miss Velma's - well I bet you know what happened. Rain. A lot of rain. Until 1 pm. So once again, our plans had to change a bit. The outside work had to wait until the rain stopped and we concentrated on finishing the bedrooms. We broke into our groups to prep for painting. By the end of the day, the younger girls' pink bedroom looked awesome. Closets were installed in the boys room and the priming was completed. And the older girls had a new closet and a new purple room. The classroom area was also painted, and that crew is ready to decorate the walls. Once the afternoon rolled around, it was time for some serious yardwork. The chainsaws, machetes, and axes were in full force trimming bushes and chopping trees. Our nighttime activities were cancelled because guess what it started doing on our way home from dinner. Yep. It rained. A lot. The part that hurts the most is the postponement of the much anticipated game of the trip - FLY SWATTER HOCKEY!! Hopefully we will be able to find some time to squeeze it in before it's all over. And as of this right now (10:45) it's still raining. And it looks like its going to rain again tomorrow. But the one thing the rain is not doing is dampening our spirits. We've accomplished a lot so far and with two work days left at Miss Velma's house, we are confident that all of the jobs will be completed. And of course the laughter is louder than ever with stories and games. This is a great group of kids with a lot spirit and energy. Looking forward to what they will do next.
