This has been a busy week for all us, more for than the kids than me, but since I get to play chauffeur it seems pretty busy to me also.
Dominick is in his second week of DEFY camp. It's Drug Education For Youth camp. They are teaching him and many other kids how to resist drugs and giving him great alternatives to drugs. They have been keeping him busy all week long with team building activities, games, trips to the Kintai bridge, bowling, movie theater, fire and police depts. and on Friday they are even doing some community service at Tsu Tsu beach helping to clean it up! During the school year, once Saturday a month will be devoted to DEFY for either fun trips or tutoring. I think this will be a wonderful way for Dominick to spend his year having good role models and feeling he's part of something good. He has also been going with his brother and sister to Vacation Bible School at the chapel on base in the evenings.
Cora has been going to a Vacation Bible School every morning out in town at our church, Calvary Chapel. She is really enjoying spending time with her friends and learning about God's Word. She asked Jesus into her heart this morning while praying at her church. She's becoming a wonderful young lady. In the evenings, she's been going to Vacation Bible School at the chapel on base. She has very little time at home this week because she's so busy at church. The time spent at home is to eat and sleep.

Hayden is joining Cora 
and Dominick at Vacation Bible School at the base chapel each evening. He's kind of rambunctious and the director had to talk with me after the second night telling me he wasn't being a good listener and that he was actually taken out of his room that night. After a long talk with Hayden, last night seemed to be pretty good. I don't know if he's bored or if the difference in structure between yochien and Vacation Bible School is so great, but I was very surprised that he was acting up. I've never had a bad report about Hayden in the last year at yochien so it definitely wasn't expected.

I ordered three out of my 5 books and I'll be taking 4 classes this fall. My classes will consist of Introduction to Business Management, Principles of Accounting I, Advanced Business Writing, and World War II History Class. This should definitely keep me busy 
but I know I need to get it done before my $6,000 grant for military spouses is no longer available to me. I'm hoping since I start the same day that the kids do at their school that I should be able to get a lot of my homework done and not have to worry about it interfering with my time with the kids. I do have to worry about it interfering with my time where I should clean. But hey, who needs a clean house anyway?

He is taking the same History Class with me also and will be taking two computer tests to CLEP out of the basic computer classes. His class load will definitely be lighter than mine but that comes with him taking classes while he's working full time. I wanted him to take a class with me so we can share the cost of books and we can help each other with assignments. The more we can do together, the easier this whole school thing will be.
That's what's happened so far this week and hopefully we'll have a new post about has happened over the weekend. We will definitely have to make the most out of these last weekends of the summer with the kids since school will take up a lot of our time. The kids will hopefully see the importance of homework when watching us scramble to get all our stuff done. I'm hoping they're smart and go to a regular university when they grow up. That way they're not cramming all their school work into a week full of kids and work like we are.
Well, off to get dinner for the kids before I chauffeur them to Vacation Bible School
