It's All Who You Know

During VBS week, the church rented a number of large bounce houses. My kiddos were quite envious as they are not yet old enough to go to free child care, I mean, VBS. Just kidding, really. Just so happens that some folks we are pretty good friends with were camping at church that week to protect said bounce houses from peril. Can you say private after hours party? I won't post their names so as to protect their identities...

Home Economics

Anyone that knows me well knows that I spend an inordinate amount of time at Walmart. They have it all! To further Libby's training in the fine feminine arts, Grandma Sue and Grandpa Brad carefully chose a Walmart shopping cart for Libby's birthday present this year which went quite well with the purses and play money she received.

Our new game involves me setting up shop in the living room. I like to make sections and aisles like produce, deli, bread and assorted plastic bottles and box remnants. I thought it would be fun to relate what each child felt was needed for today's meals.

Up first was Jake and he chose the following: a cinnamon roll and a donut.
Next was Danny with the entire pizza set, a bell pepper and a cucumber. Apparently he likes supreme pizza. Also notice his placement of the pizza box on the lower rack of the cart, total confirmation that I am making an impact in their lives!
Miss Libby finished with a bang by purchasing the produce section in its entirety. She's definitely not been watching me shop although her purse arm is in excellent form!

Whose Birthday?

It's really confusing when your mom tells you it's our country's birthday and then you go to a birthday party but it isn't for the country. No matter whose birthday it may be, at least cupcakes are abundant right?





Patriotism is exhausting. Happy Fourth of July!
