What is on my mind today

I feel like I have been slacking this week on my blog. I love doing it and it keeps me busy, entertained and inspired. Especially when I take a look at other blogs great deals and thoughts on life, motherhood, friendship and everything in between. I decided to write a little ditty on my thoughts this month. I can not believe school is starting soon for my oldest son, he will be in 3rd grade. Fall is fast approaching and the weather is already cooler. Fall is my favorite season and winter not so much, I like the holidays and family gatherings but the snow can go away. The kids love it though and want to play in the white cold flakes. At least they don't want to stay out all day like the summer months. We were able to go camping this year and we went to Hawk Island and a few various bike rides. I am happy to know that MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) will be starting and it definitely helps to keep my sanity in the months to come. I will go back on the hunt for bargains and deals and perhaps I will see what I can get at CVS, I have 4 ECBs burning a hole in my pocket.

My First VBS experience

We attend church every Sunday and enjoy it and love the opportunity to worship with other believers. At this time we don't attend Wednesday nights because they don't offer nursery services for our younger children. This week we have been going everyday because our church's vacation bible school is this week. This is the first time I have attended. Last year I had intentions and did not get around to it. I must say I was very impressed with the organization and effort our church volunteers and helpers did. The theme is Crocodile Dock and the children are split into groups based on age and rotated into different activities. My kids are 3, 1 and 8 and the first two are in a preschool group, while my oldest is at the elementary level. I praise God for this wonderful week and everyone that put this week together. The first day my kids were not sure about it but now they look forward to everyday. I would recommend anyone to try out their local church's vacation bible schools, it is fun for the kids and a great learning experience. It has been a great enjoyable learning experience for us all.

Sharing moments

My daughter got a gift for becoming completely potty trained. I gave her the Veggie Tales movie I got for $2.99. I was going to give it to my friends daughter for her birthday but I ended up getting something else. My daughter was so excited
