Viva!

The kids went to VBS at our church all last week...The theme was Fiesta!! They had soooo much fun!! The theme was great - The music was really fun and uplifting. Every morning when I dropped them off Jake and I would sit in the sanctuary until the children were dismissed to their respective classes. He really enjoyed listening to all of the songs and clapping and he especially loved to see the puppet skit every morning!

This week Becky & Matthew are both attending Basketball Camp at our township recreation center - They are really having a good time with this, too! They both want to sign up to be on a team in the fall...We'll see...Also, they will be giving out 25 trophies at the end of the week: Matthew definitely wants to get one! Becky is afraid to get one because she said if she gets one and Matthew doesn't, then he'll be asking her all the time to keep her trophy! They crack me up!

We are getting our bedroom carpet installed tomorrow so we should have our room back together for the weekend - Yay!! Then Dan just has to put in the bathroom floor, get the plumber back in to help install the toilet and sink and then we need to get someone in to do the shower door installation...I can't wait until this is all completed...

The kids had earned free tickets to Six Flags reat Adventure through the Read to Succeed program last school year and we finally got to bring them there this past Saturday - We were supposed to go with some friends from Dan's work and their children last Thursday, but I was soooo sick! I had a 24 hour stomach thing that really knocked me out! It was horrible, plus we had to cancel on the plans...but we went Saturday and the kids really had a great time!

Sunday night we went to Dan's brother's church because our SIL Mary was singing in a choir presentation ~ She even performed a solo and I must say ~ She did very well! We were glad to be able to go and support her efforts...

We received the first pack of DVD's for Becky's homeschool program this coming year...We were checking them out yesterday ~ I was showing her how you can watch a DVD right on the computer...She is very excited and anxious to start school again...I told her maybe either next week or right after her birthday...I just need to map out the first half of the year in my teacher planner before we can start...

And finally, I have my date for my c-section ~ The baby will be born on Wednesday, October 18th!! That's only 10 weeks away!! I can't wait to meet her!! :)
