VBS Without Walls

Sisters!

This week is VBS and the girls are having a blast so far! It's held in the evenings, which is SO nice and allows us to be able to drop them off and pick them up much easier than the typical day VBS most churches typically have. I was a bit worried to how the girls would take to it, as it's somewhat soccer themed and being held outside at our local soccer fields. Even at 5:30. it's been in the low 90's everyday when I drop them off....but they came home the first night absolutely pumped up & ready to return. They're practicing for a big performance on Sunday....I've caught a few glimpses of it and I sure hope there are no scouts in the audience...because the girls are fantastic!

Heaven says she's even THINKING about playing soccer again this year because she's enjoyed it so much. I think the highlight of their night though is their ride home with Nana. She's working & offered to bring the girls home as the soccer field is out in Chumuckla and not exactly close to the house. She's also been taking the girls to dinner each night on the way home...the girls LOVE their Nana!

AB is on a team made mostly of boys....she's tougher than the whole lot of them

Heaven....you can't tell in the photo, but she's shouting at me to stop taking her pictures...bahahah!

Art in the Park

It has been a wonderfully rainy Saturday. We spent the majority of the day today holed up indoors in cozy clothes watching movies and trash TV. As a whole, it was blissful. Sure the kids were BORED ( I know, because they told me about 65 Bazillion times) but nothing beats a rainy afternoon movie marathon & an excuse to wear gym clothes all day long. Well...not much does anyway. Before the downpour started we ventured out to Art in the Park. Heaven was *so excited*. She loves art and was thrilled to have a chance to see "real" artwork and talk with some "real" artists ( I was a little offended she does not consider me a part of this "real" artist list...I mean, she's seen what I can do with some glitter glue). Mr. Eric Cobb was at the top of her list. He's been a Bestie of mine for years and is amazingly talented. If you're in the market for some palette knife artwork, you should check out his fabulousness for yourself. Totally not the ...

Treaters

Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet (John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats) Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton. As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided. Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really A...

Madly.

I've been madly back blogging today.
