FAMILY FUN....

Friday evening after Matt got home from work we took the kids and the puppy to the beach. It wasn't overly hot but it was still nice and everyone had fun. Matt and Kohl got in the water then the kids played at the edge of the water with their float boards. The waves were fairly big and the kids kept falling into the water. Breigh wasn't too sure of the sand at first but before we left she was having fun digging in the sand and eating the sea weed. Once we got home everyone (puppy included) rinsed off in the pool. (forgot the camera)

Matt found a $10 bill floating in the water....and I thought he was picking up more seaweed for the kids!

With Matt having the weekend off we have been busy with the kids! They have been wanting to do a backyard bonfire so that is what we did Saturday right after supper. We quickly finished up our strawberry shortcakes, threw the dishes in the sink and headed out to the backyard. The boys (Matt, Jay and Kohl) gathered up the paper and firewood, Blake played with the puppy and Trinity got out the camp chairs, oh and the marshmallows! Matt took some time to show Jay how to start the fire and I have to say that they managed to get a good one going!

Even though everyone was FULL from the strawberry shortcakes they got right into roasting the marshmallows...I think Trinity was on her first, (maybe second) when the flaming marshmallow fell onto her left hand :0( in shock she sat there and looked at it. Her hand was blistered quite bad but once we got it taken care of she still wanted to continue on with the evening.

While Matt was taking care of Trinity's hand the boys (kohl and Jay) headed into the pool where they acted goofy as ever while Blake of course played with the puppy ( no surprise there lol). We ended the night fairly early and got the kids cleaned up and in bed at a decend time. So that was our Saturday.

Even though Matt had the weekend off from work he still managed to find work to do....he is helping a friend with the demolition of an old mansion house not far from here, so he spent from 1pm until 6:30pm cleaning out the depris from the house. The will put a few bucks in his pocket for vacation (or kids dancing). With everyone so tired from the hot weekend once again we were in bed early (not early enough).

So that was our weekend and this week is full of excitement for the kids and lots of running around for us. They are going to Vacation Bible School just up the street from us. "God's Big Backyard" is the theme for this summer! Blake is having a great time and get this he stays without me :0( so you know what this means... a couple of hours without the kids! Oh what to do with myself????Do I ever feel lost.

Tomorrow will be a little more crazy with getting Trinity to dance classes for 9:30am and the kids to the church for 9:30am and then Matt off to work for 10:00am. I guess I will have to take Trinity a bit early then back to the church, get the kids settled in there and Matt off to work, just to turn around to pick up the kids at 12:00 then Trinity at 2:30pm and Matt for supper at 4:00pm. Yep that will be a good part of my day! All I can say is that I am some glad that I don't have to pack the van for vacation until next week.
