I survived my first day

My first day at the YMCA at summer camp went pretty well. I only worked 12-6, and in that time we went to a movie ("Akeelah and the Bee", which is pretty good) so it went by pretty quickly. We only had eight 5th-8th graders, so it was easy to handle. Already some personalities coming through. Pretty Girl apparently came last year and has a little crush on the male counselor (which I went to high school with, and I had a crush on in high school, so that's strange). Silly Girl and The Follower are her cronies. Silly Girl was there last year too, and so her and Pretty Girl did a lot of those clap-and-chant games together, while The Follower watched and tried to be involved. The other 5 are boys and I'm still trying to figure them out. There is Spice Boy (not related to The Spice Girls), who had a sandwich at lunch that was loaded with jalapenos. He said he loves spicy stuff and loves jalapenos, but every bite he was running to get a drink of water and opening his eyes wide like he was dying (probably just a show for my sake). The others don't have names yet, but I'm sure they will.

It was nice to get home and I think I'll be so appreciative of my time with my husband and son (and our other two babies: Max and Charlie seen above), since I won't be getting home until 6:30 or so every night. It gives me enough time to have dinner with them, give Mason a bath and play with him some before he goes to bed. Plus, most mornings Mason and I will have a little time together before I take him to the babysitter's. Besides, it's only for 10 weeks. And the first one's halfway over already. And 3 weeks from now is our week-long trip to California with church!! So, really it's just 8 weeks. That'll go by in a blink of an eye.
