500sq ft divided by 15 children = CRAZY

As I type there is a room PACKED with children watching "Ice Age ll". So far so good, fortunatly. It started off stressful, more and more kids started showing up. It seems while I think they are all around all having a good night, that you cannot please anyone. The group of girls kimberly pitched the idea to on monday or tuesday are bummed because there are bunches of people they dont like... Because of theft and only 2 adult supervisors (i guess me on the computer makes it one (hehehe)) we have closed off the whole back of the house and of course the store. There is a mountian of belongings by the front door that will take all day long tomorrow to sort out... The night started with a couple pizzas (totinos... 8 to be exact) shortly followed by popcorn prep for the movie... 1 pot making popcorn at a rate of 3 bags per load, ment 5 loads just to make enough popcorn for everyone... We came up with the great idea of giving everyone their own bag with just butter and a bit of salt on it so that they could eat it that way or they could put their own topping on it (cheese, garlic salt...) So far that worked out pretty good... 1 girl put too much garlic salt on hers, but i didnt bother making her any more because she has been quite the bully tonight, taking things from others, and cutting in line... among with other things, but ultimately I just decided that her impatience and mean attitued has killed her popcorn.

All of the moms are super cool with me and kimberly for doing this tonight. The children have been all around very respectful though i could not be happier with how tonight is working out. God really is blessing this attempt at interacting with the children.

Our thanksgiving was amazing too!, we went to an AMAZING womans house where her son and daughter came in from fairbanks. She is an amazing woman and her kids are great (i think one is early 20s and the other is late 20s maybe early 30s... she mentioned something about almost 10 yrs of separation between the two. anyway, the food was great, the time spent was great, I offered to pray. Kimberly made death by chocolate, Im not sure how much they liked it, i mean how can you not but compaired to me where i would inject it directly into a vein if i could, i could not tell. It was nice because the lady had been a teacher for 31 years here in the village (last year she retired). So she had an inside view on the kiddies, basically the biggest thing was theft... she told us a couple to keep our eyes on, it ended up being nice, because originally the house was basically going to be all open, and i would hate to find that something dissapeared.

All in all kimbelry and I are doing great. Im super tired and am going to sleep amazing tonight, Kimberly will be roughing it with 9 girls or so on the couch in the livingroom... I just have to stay awake another hr and ill get a burst of energy to take the boys home.... i have the car plugged in (the block heater for you unknowing city folk), unfourtunatly the heater in the rig doesnt work, so it will never warm up.
