This Week...

 We got home Saturday night from our trip and jumped right back into our crazy busy lives!  I taught Sunday school on Sunday morning and then later that evening we had a youth party to go to.  Monday morning came way too fast and we were up and out the door by 8:30 for theatre camp.  They are doing, "Little Mermaid, Jr." in the mornings and taking different classes in the afternoon--singing, stage combat, makeup, dance camp, and more but I can't remember what else.  In addition to camp every day from 9 to 2, the kids also took turns sleeping over at friends' houses, saw two movies, and went through the stress of preparing and auditioning for yet another show.  Joe will be playing Flounder and the girls are each Mersisters.  All are happy with their parts so I'm happy too!  That's what the kids week looked like....mine was equally busy!  I visited with friends a couple of mornings, went to the dentist, saw "Hairspray," twice, grocery shopped, did a boatload of laundry, unpacked, cleaned out the girls' drawers, and babysat Landon and Dawson all day one day.  I didn't make much of a dent in my to-do list but that's okay...Here are some pics from the week--

 Landon and Dawson call me Boo Boo so I am calling our weekly day together, Camp BooBoo.  This week for Camp BooBoo we spent the morning at home watching PBS kids and reading books (not too different from how our mornings used to look around here...), then we went and saw Jiggleman at a local library.  We thoroughly enjoyed this man's crazy performance!  After a quick stop at McD's for lunch, we went to Aunt Harriet and Uncle Billy's house for swimming.   That was fun and I was happy to see that Landon could swim, that made it a little easier.  Then it was time to pick up my kids and we all went to High Five to celebrate auditions being over.  It was a fun day and I had a nice nap afterwards!

 We saw "Hairspray" twice this week so that we could see both of the different lead girls.  Both shows were just fantastic and sooo fun to watch!  Got a new purse for my birthday and I'm in love...best purse evah.

 I've been so happy to finally see some rain around here!  The first 3 days back were totally dry, hot and dry and I was not happy!  Since then though we 've had some rain every day.  As I type it's storming like crazy and I love it!

 Friday was PJ day at theatre camp and Hannah stole my favorite PJ ensemble.  She's pretty cute.

 Friday was also Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a--dress like a cow, eat free chicken!  We have gone every year for about 5 years I think.  I think I may take some time this summer to make a more permanent costume that can be used year after year.  Maybe skirts for the girls and sharpie a shirt for Joe?  It took me at least an hour or more to cut out and assemble everyone's outfit.

 I started a puzzle yesterday...even though I really don't have time...I just couldn't resist.  America first and then...my new birthday puzzle-- THE 1980s!!  Super excited about that one. I started my day off today with Bible time--the first quiet time I've had in almost a month...it felt so good to lay all of my burdens at the feet of Jesus and to read His word.  There's nothing like it!

 Ollie and the kids are out on an adventure and I'm really enjoying a peaceful quiet house.  I went through all of last year's homeschooling stuff and am ready to box it up and put it away.  I also sorted and organized all the new stuff so I could see what I have and what I need.  Homeschool year end review post coming up this week!
