Blueberry picking

Thomas loved picking the blueberries and was really good at finding the nice, plump ones.

Joseph picked a few...ate a lot... and then decided the dirt was just as much fun.

Savannah helped Joseph pick some.

Addy loves blueberries and was an expert at finding the best bushes to pick from.

Thomas ate lots of berries while we were out there.

Joseph's highlight of the day was the train ride.

Addy decided she was too big for the train ride and stayed with me while the other 3 went.

We had a fun family day, and thankfully it wasn't too hot.

"Mom I'm Bored"

This is the best thing ever. I found this idea on another blog, and filled it with over 250 slips of paper. The girls love this. They have been keeping busy for the past few days and I haven't heard either of them exclaim "Mom I'm bored" They have cleaned, built forts, made snacks, created frisbees, drawings etc.

Hot summer day

Yesterday we had a gathering at our house with girls from Addy's girl scout troop. They were having their first meeting for planning their bridging ceremony to become Junior girl scouts. It was really hot once again, so the kids kept cool by playing on the slip n slides. I can't believe these girls are now fourth graders! Where has the time gone...

Last evening after T-ball practice I was out watering all the flowers and suddenly it became a game of Mommy trying to spray all the kids with the hose. They had so much fun, and I have to say I had quite a bit of fun myself.

Faith Wars

Last week the kids and I attended out Church's Vacation Bible Camp. The theme was "Faith Wars" a take on Star Wars. The kids learned about how God always triumphs over evil thought the stories of Saul and his conversion to Saul. Saul Christian Hater (Darth Vader) became Paul Heaven Walker (Luke Skywalker).

I was a volunteer in Crafts, where the kids created night lights for their rooms. Even the 2 year olds got to come to craft. Thomas was so excited to finally be able to attend a camp and Joseph had a blast too. They all got to enjoy drama/ or puppets for boys. They all learned new songs from a group called the Lads! On the last day they kids all enjoyed bounce houses and huge inflatables outside, and Sheridans brought ice cream for the kids and adults. We all had a great time.
