Life as I know it.

Bug had a big party day today. 2 of his buddies celebrated today, luckily they were one right after the other so he didn't have to miss out on any of the fun. The 1st party had a Star Wars theme. They trained to be Jedi nights then defeated the Death Star and went and saved Princess Leia (sp). They even had the real Darth Vadar and a Tuskan Raider come for a visit. I haven't gotten the pics yet but I will be sure to post them after I get them. The next party was in the afternoon at a local park with a swimming hole. The bees were atrocious but the party was fun. Here is Bug getting ready to pin the planet on the moon, with the Birthday boy cheering him on. Here is him making his move, he then immediately headed back to the sand to play.

Here is Bug on his 2nd day going to Camp Dart-Lo he found a friend at the bus stop and they both held hands while waiting to get on the bus. So cute! Had to take a pic to remind him when he is older.

Well Friday night was Bunco night (8-8-08), so I made an ice cream cake and a new green bean recipe I have come up with. I know it sounds like an odd combo, but I am trying to eat healthier so I brought the green beans for me and the ice cream for everyone else. They both turned out good and I got a lot of compliments and requests for the recipe for my green beans. So anyway I started out with a bang and won my 1st 7 games and I thought "oh goody", I can win the most wins category but of course as soon as you start thinking that i started loosing a couple but I pulled it out in the end and won 15.00. Then one of the other gals was heading to the casino so I tagged along and put my 15.00 down at the 21 table and ended walking out of there with 45.00. I know some of you are woowho 45.00 big wup but considering I started out with 5.00 that's not to bad for the night. I am a very low stakes gambler. So then on Sat we had our friends Steve and Rachelle and their boy and a neph...

Bug has been having a great time at VBS this week. On Thur the parents got to go watch the kids sing and then they had a big BBQ afterwards with a water fight. Bug had a blast sneaking around getting the other kids wet, (he thinks he is so tricky). They had some really cute songs to sing and at the end the kids all stood on their chairs and huge beach balls were bounced all over the place. I have been pretty busy working this week so haven't had much chance to enjoy the alone time. Oh well there's always next week when he is at Campfire day camp for the next 2 weeks.

Here are some pics of Bug singing with the other big 1st graders on his 2nd to last day at our Church's VBS.

So Bug is off for another week of VBS, (you can never have to much God in your life). Our church is hosting VBS this week from 9 to 12:15. So this morning I did a little shopping and got the house cleaned. Very relaxing when there is no one around to ask you a million questions. Bug had a good time today, they got to do 2 art projects today so he was very excited about that. He also learned the word Aloha and that it means hello and good bye. Very fun. So we are starting up again with getting ready to homeschool for the year and I am already stressed out about it. I'm wondering if this is the right decisions for us. I say lets work and he says "oh man" and gives me every complaint in the book. I don't know if I can take a whole year of fighting him to get his work done everyday. We are planning to go with one of our local school districts homeschool program. So he will go there one day a week and be home the rest of the time. Hopefully once we get back in the swing ...
