VBS is finished!

Well the meatball is done and the dishes are done. VBS Hero Headquarters is done.....I want to cheer and I want to cry at the same time. It is kind of like Christmas, you prepare for something and it is over before you know it. Unlike Christmas VBS goes on for a whole week. I think it was a huge success though. We had about 40 kids each day, which is good. Of course, we live in the Baptist belt though and was told that VBS is not VBS unless you have about 500 kids....well kiss my Lutheran grits, we had 40 and it was enough. .... Captain Meatball, striking a pose, or is he the hooters girl with a genetic boobie growth, we will never know.

The kids rocking out to God is my HERO....Look at Tucker and Amerly, they are the only ones that wore their masks all week....bless em!

The Heroes at the VBS kick off. Tucker looks so happy to be there. I think he had too much VBS that weekend.

Trenton is so happy it is summer!

This picture says it all! The newest sign on the deck....

Hero Headquarters have blown up!!!!

Well the count down for VBS has begun. We are in the decorating mode and hopefully this weekend will get all the groceries and start the week off with the kick off on Sunday. Hopefully the Lord will send us good weather and the week to fly by.....did I just say that?? This is one of our store front for Hero City. For those of you that may not know who Edna Mode is, she is on The Incredible's and does the costumes for all the superheroes.

This is the sign for the garage....Tony Stark=Iron Man....

Thank God no one is going to be visiting....we would have to sleep in one bed....not good!

A work in process....

The back deck is really coming together. Rich is taking steps to hopefully enclose it next year. He closed in the sides, it needs to be painted, but it is starting to look good. We have totally enjoyed it!

Our little farm....

For someone that never wanted to have a yard, house or children, my husband is a such a farmer. He has worked so hard on our garden this year. Last year our garden sucked. The weeds took over and we hardly got anything from it. Rich said last year that we would have an awesome garden this year, and so far he is right. Her is the whole thing. Corn, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, sweet potatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe and lettuce.

We have the coolest scarecrow on the block...

Our little baby zucchini....

Meet baby squash......

And our first tomato! Oh, how I can taste you with a little bit of salt!!

Tucker's plug....

Well here is the infamous plug in Tucker's ear. This is not a very good picture, but if you look very close you can see that little white cotton plug in his ear. Hopefully we will take it out tomorrow. Last night was a better night than the night before, I hope tonight is better than last night.....we will see.

What you really want to see....

I know not everyone loves my flower beds and house piddling as much as me. Here is the main reason you are here, to see those little stinkers that fill our lives with so much. Trenton and Tucker!!! The picture of Trenton and his Larry Boy. We were working on VBS masks and Trenton asked Rich to make a costume for his Larry. He did a great job and Trenton was ecstatic! He loved it. So all day Saturday what did we watch LARRY BOY!! Tucker had a new friend. This is Karley the clone trooper. He watched Star Wars all day Saturday and went out and played Jedi with Karley. This is her clone wardrobe. Poor Tucker, this was the last smile we saw the rest of the weekend. He woke up Saturday night with MAJOR ear pain. He and I were up all night on Saturday night. Bless his heart, it was bad. The blow dryer and Tylenol were our friend. Sunday morning we were suppose to go to church for the youth day. He and I stayed home and slept. When Rich and Trenton got home, we just sat around and watched TV. I thought he was better.....until Sunday night. OMG! As much as I can believe it, it was worse then Saturday night. I wish I would have taken him to the doctor Sunday....I took him to the doctor on Monday and he has swimmers ear. I always thought that swimmers ear was not as bad as a plain old ear infection....boy I was wrong. He had to have a ear wick in his ear. His ear was totally swollen shut, none of the medicine that we were using was working, because it was not getting down in there. I feel terrible!!!! It is such a bad infections that he has to have Tylenol with codeine. I hope that tonight will be a good night and all of us will get a good night sleep and will start Tuesday a little clearer! Ok, now that I have totally bent your ear, I will tell you that I have missed blogging! I can put all my thoughts and my beautiful family
down. I promise you I will not wait this long to blog! I hope you have missed me as much as I missed you! See/Blog you soon.....and Miss Abby.... I hope you are so happy to see new pictures on this wonderful Tuesday Morning! XOXO to you baby girl!!! :)
