A New Record in Service!
This has been a crazy week for us. Actually, every week is crazy for us, and that's why I haven't posted in a while. So when I got on and saw that it had been Dec. 30th, I was a little embarrassed! I had no idea it had been this long!
Mar. 1: All 3 boys and Jim shoveled the church walk and stairs, and we shoveled out Mr. Dowell, Jamo's trumpet teacher. We were supposed to get an inch of snow, but we really got more like 5 inches.
Total service hours: 8
Mar. 4: All 3 boys plus Jim and myself worked at the Girl Scout meeting.
Total service hours: 10
Mar. 5: Jamo spent 5 hours and Alex & Jer spent 3 hours each setting up risers, etc. for the show choir invitational. It was hard work, lifting the heavy risers and pounding the legs in, and turning all the cranks on the bottom.
Total service hours: 11
Mar. 6: Jamo turned 17 today! All 3 boys spent 2 hours setting up & decorating rooms for the invite.
Total service hours: 6
Mar. 7: The day of the Fort Madison Show Choir Invitational. Jamo got up at 4am to get ready for State Jazz Band competition. He got to the high school around 2, and then helped people as needed at the invite. He performed at 10:00 pm in the jazz band, and had an awesome impromptu solo! Jim & Krys spent from 9 am to 12 pm working at the judges' table. We recorded and figured scores for all the judges for all the schools competing. Alex and Jer worked from 9 am to 1 am, with a couple of breaks in between. They were gophers and table wipers, They worked hard all day!
Total service hours: 58 yes, 58!
Our family put in 83 service hours this week! Like I said in the title, that has to be a new record!
