We've had a busy week/weekend. Friday was our first night in a new Bible study small group. We had lasagna and mostly a get-together night to talk about what we're going to do. Alex and Missy napped late Friday so they weren't fed when we went there and then were too overstimulated to eat, so they were all hyped up and cranky. Saturday we took Gary and Renee (our new associate minister at church) out and about geocaching with us, out to points near South Whitley and North Manchester. We found four caches, all Indiana Spirit Quests. At the last one we got a wasp in the van, which flew into Alex's face on the way home and scared him to death. When he started crying I thought it had stung him and the whole van flew into a near panic. We stopped quickly and got the doors open and I winged it with a shoe, after which it landed on Missy and nearly crawled into her face as well. I thought it was going to sting her then, but I did finally kill it and get it out. Alex was incredibly freaked out by the whole thing and now is scared by all flying bugs. No stings, though. Our first night of league bowling was afterwards, in which I did great in the first game (176) and sucked in the 2nd (106) and 3rd (121). I'm trying something new this year with my ball delivery but it wears my wrist out, and after the first game I couldn't hold it steady. Today was my fantasy football league draft day. I may have a good team, but I thought that last year too. I hope Detroit's Kevin Jones is all he's cracked up to be.
