Unexpected Computer time

The two oldest are doing crafts and are content. Red is sleeping and Peanut isn't. She needs to be sleeping but she is fighting it. I thought I would come sit in the room so she stayed in bed and will fall asleep. Since I am trapped until she gives up and goes to sleep I thought I would update my bloggy blog!

I truly can't believe how fast summer is flying by. Yesterday ended the last day of VBS at the kids' school. I wish I could say it was a great time by right before the picnic started Red fell and cut his face. All the moms there said I should have him checked out so I took him to the ER and they put dermabond on it. It is basically glue stitches. I felt so bad for the little guy he gets hurt and then he doesn't get to play with his friends because I took him to the ER. He was a trooper. I just had to stop typing to answer the phone and it was the hospital calling to see how he was doing today. What customer service! Anyways, our summer from here on out is jam packed with stuff with a few open days here or there but before we know it we will be saying hi to THE Mouse! Then two days after we get back school starts. I am a little torn about school starting this year. The kids aren't they are super excited and have really great teachers this coming year but I always miss them so much when they are gone. Plus, Peanut is going to be so sad not to have them here. Red is going 4 half days and 1 full day so I can do my women's Bible study. We have really had a great summer with NO television. I am really starting to think that is the devil...not really but close to it. They have been happier and kinder little people with out it. Well she FINALLY fell asleep after laying down for 20 minutes. She is going to give me a run for my money ;)

This is the kids in 2006 visiting the Mouse!

Hmm..it's been awhile

I just LOVE summer! We have been having a fun time which leaves little time for blogging. The kids got in trouble can't even remember what for but they got television taken away from them for a week. The first 2 days were rough but now it isn't so bad they are actually playing pretty well with each other. But since no tv I don't have much time for the computer. Things we've been up to this past week; Monday: soft ball game with church league and ice cream social afterward. Tuesday: seems like a blur to me. I know we went to the visitation for GG and Monkey's *teacher that passed away. Wednesday: piano lessons, play date with church friends, and memorial service at school, didn't get home until after 10pm. Thursday (today): our plans are to meet friends that moved away and are back for a week at DQ and park play time.

*GG and Monkey had Mr. S during their Kindergarten year. He was their Bible teacher and he was 90 years old when Monkey had him, which was his last year teaching at the school. He was just shy of being 92 years old when he passed away. He taught at our school for 40 years and there were many of his pupils at the service. His son had all of his students stand up and gave them a quiz! He said, "What's the Good word?" and all the kids/adult students said, "PRAISE THE LORD!" That question is how he started every class. What a huge testimony this man had such a servant of God. He will be missed but it's hard to be sad when you know that he is no longer in pain and he is with Jesus. Just to let you know that every year Monkey comes home and talks about one of his teachers everyday. The year he had Mr. S, that was the teacher he talked about, every day. He really loved him and looked up to him. GG also loved him and she really took him dying hard.

Some silliness around our parts!
* The other day I got woke up from a Red screaming at the top of his lungs, "MOM MOM THERE'S A SPIDER IN THE TOILET AND IT'S STILL ALIVE. MOM HELP IT'S MOVING!" He went on like this until I got to the bathroom and flushed the toilet.
* Peanut when she goes to sleep she gatherings as many stuffed animals as she can. Last night when she went to bed she had in her arms 2 teddy bears, a stuffed alligator, a baby doll and a sippy cup. How she kept them all in her arms is beyond me. This is how she goes to sleep every night. I really should take a picture of it sometime soon before she stops doing it!

I know there has been others but those two stick out in my head!
