....greetings from camp... (and a disclaimer!)

So, this week I am at childrens camp.

We are at COW week. Now, doesn't that just make you feel skinny?! (COW-Children only week)So there are about 900 3rd-6th graders and a few adults sprinkled amongst them. Not too many to dampen their energy or their little pranks though!

Anna is with us. She and D&D and I are staying in a family unit. Which is not to be confused with a hotel room at all. AT ALL!!! It is a small room with 4 twin beds, a sink, and its only saving grace a dresser! I love me a dresser! Oh yeah, there is also a shower and toilet, but please, this is a famnily kind of blog!

Anna has had a couple of funny statements this week. Last night we were standing outside waiting on the kids to join up with us Anna said
"these bugs are all around me!"
" the bugs talk to me at night in bed"
I said, surprised!"the bugs talk to you?"
she said matter of factly "yes!"
I said "what do they say?"
she said" I don't know! I don't talk bug talk"
Well that was good to know.

I won't bore you with the other Anna story but suffice it to say it was par for the course for her. She is quite the funny one.

We are half way through camp! Hallelujah, anyone?
I am almost looking forward to my date with the laundramat Friday night.

I need to wrap this up so that I can go stand in line for supper. The fact that I am standing in line for supper should in no way make you think that it is yummy, it is just because as an adult here, I get to eat before the kids. And I take advantage of that!

Before I go, let me say that I WHOLEHEARTDLY DISAPPROVE of the picture Abby posted for the blog hop. The next picture will be one that I approve of and one that Abby disappoves of. Get ready, it should be great fun!!!

Tell Anna that her Mom and Aunt Abby used to talk back to the bugs...so she is making progress. I'm proud of her.

Anna is such a cutie. I just love her, and I miss her smiling face. She was just starting to be friendly towards me before we moved. :(

The camp story really cracked me up, I could hear your voice the whole time I was reading it. Have fun on your date at the laundromat, lol.

Can't wait to see the picture you post!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
