Obie's Word of the Day

Obie's word of the day: Bye-bye, Poopie. (That's right, Potty Training is going GREAT!)

A Busy Week

Here is a little glimpse of all the things we had to do this week. Actually, I don't have any pictures from Maggie's Art Camp, so it's not "all the things" we had to do this week, but several of them. On Wednesday the girls and I got to take a spin on the local paddle boat, The Pearl of the Lake, as part of the summer reading program. The girls were very excited to go on a boat ride, especially since we drive by the boat everytime we go to lake city and they always sigh from the back seat, "I wish I could ride on that boat!" One life goal down!

Riding on a boat, even for just half an hour, made me seasick. I spent the evening with a headache! But the girls enjoyed the first few minutes of it before they got bored and hungry.

This weekend was the Lake City Water Ski Days festival. We took the kids into town on Saturday and looked the event over, got a big lemonade and a funnel cake, and let the kids ride a few rides and spend a dollar to bounce in the inflatable house.

Riding around on the carousel for three minutes also made me seasick. I also got a mean sunburn on my neck. I'm quite a sorry case.

And today was the wrap-up for Vacation Bible School. Here are Maggie and Bee with all of their food themed crafts that they made this past week. They each stood up with their class and sang three songs and said their memory verses. Then they got to proudly display their things to all of the congregation. Beatrice is still trying to gnaw her way through her stale froot loop necklace!

Next week we still have some things to do for the reading program, but it will be much slower. And with zero humidity and temps in the upper 70's, I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing week!

I'm also planning not to get seasick.

Obie's Word of the Day

Obie's word of the day: There you go. (Pronounces Deh jee goh and usually said as he's handing someone something they may want - like a toy - or may not want - like that chewed up piece of meat he just spit out.)

Obie's Word of the Day

Obie's word of the day: Watch. (As in watch as I climb to the top of the couch and roll off, or watch as I fling myself down in the bathtub and create a tsunami!!)
