Birthdays, Parties and Scouts

Another busy week around here, especially this weekend. On Sat I worked in the morning and Bug stayed with grandma. When I got home I made French Toast for Bug, Grandma and my uncle Martin, who was over doing some yard work for us. Then after I cleaned up we headed over to Bug's soccer game. They were having a food drive for a local crisis nursery, so we lugged in a couple boxes of food. After the game, (the best one that the boys have had so far, by the way), we headed over to Michael's (craft store). They do kids crafts on Sat and this week they decorated pumpkins, Bug made his into a space ship and we even made a couple of aliens to go inside. I think it turned out pretty cute.





That evening I took Bug out to the movies to finally see Wall E. It was interesting, but it has definitely led to a lot of discussions.





On Sun we had church in the morning and then a B-day party to go to, for Bug's best friend's younger brother at one of the local farms. (Bug really thought he was quite the cowboy riding that pony).
Then an Adoption party for our friends Meegan and James who can finally call their 3 lovely kids totally their own and finished up the evening going to an audition for a local kids theatre group. Unfortunately they didn't have any roles for kids Bug's age, so he auditioned for the chorus, we will see in a few days if he made it or not. He had a good time either way.

On Mon Bug had his 1st cub scout Pack meeting and was given his 1st badge (Bobcat) and earned his 1st belt loop for Soccer. He was very excited about his awards and thanked me again for signing him up for Cub scouts, I am so happy he is enjoying it so much.

A day at the fair.

We had a busy day today! 1st we tried to get a little schoolwork done, then Bug and I headed to our church for "Breakaway". This is a time for all the moms to get together once a month. We get to spend some time in prayer, some time talking and getting to know one another a little better and of course spend sometime eating, because when can a big group of women get together and there not be food involved. It was a lot of fun and they have changed the format somewhat this year, so it should be interesting. After Breakaway we headed to the fair and met Blue. Bug had such a blast riding the rides. He is of course now more that big enough for all of the kiddie rides, he even branched out and rode on some of the bigger rides in the afternoon. He was a little nervous at 1st so I told him to ask this girl if he could sit be her. Of course she said yea and you can see him chatting her up in the 1st pic. (If he stays as outgoing as he is now his teen years should be a breeze. ha ha

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good gift frenzy.

Merry Christmas or at least merry Christmas eve. Bug is sleeping in this morning so I figured I would catch up on my blogging. Everything is basically ready around here. I do need to go pick up a few food items but other than that everything is done. Of course just as a I write that i think of 5 other things I need to do: wrap a couple more presents, stuff some stockings, get a goody tray ready for Blue's work, etc.... We will be having Christmas at our house tomorrow, the only downer is that Blue has to work today and tomorrow. You gotta love the transit system around here, (he is a bus driver, if I haven't mentioned that before). So today we will run around and finish things up, then go to our Christmas Eve Church Service at 5. Then when Blue gets home we will cook up some pizza and after dinner we will open our stockings. In the morning we will just be hanging out until he gets home around 1 then we will have a nice lunch/brunch and then the gift frenzy will begin. Actually

No Bug for the week

This week Bug is going to a VBS at a local church, it runs from 9-3. Which is very nice in a way but also very strange. I took him in this morning and hung out with him for a few minutes while he got adjusted, then I went to the grocery store. Which was all fine but when I had to pass back by the church to head home it felt weird not having him, then all day at home I went back and forth between enjoying my time getting things done around the house and checking to see if it was time to pick him up yet. I got there to pick him up about 15 min early and waited around anxiously, when he finally came out he looked so tired, he seemed to have a good time but he did say "they sang for HOOUURRRS" and did not get to go out and play on the playground, but he is looking forward to going back tomorrow. This will be a strange week without him home all day. But it will be good practice for him because he will be going to a campfire day camp in a couple of weeks where he will be picked up
