Hello There,

We have had the most Educational and Fun Busy Week.

We had our 3rd VBS (vacation bible school) this week and the theme was:

"Direct Connect Prayer Lines"

It was in the morning from 9am-12pm

July 27th-31st

They had songs, skits and Hero of the Faith Helen Cadbury Story I will never look at this chocolate bar the same way.

Every morning for a hour skits, songs and stories it was a blast!....It was a family that put on the VBS-evangelists for kids--The Wyler's On Wheels

It was really wonderful...Direct Connect VBS.

 One day while they were at the VBS after the hour beginning..

I went and took these Photography Art I am not a professional of course but, I just thought these were so lovely.

The kids finished their Summer Reading Program at the Library this week and  Phoebe received a 10.00 coupon for Pat Catan's she bought paint and model magic, some airplanes 1 wood, 1 paper like one, and foamie for her and her brothers to take back to the VBS for points each day they had the kids do a project at home and bring it back for points.

The two boys chose 10.00 Border's bookstore coupons (Steven already received and spent his about two weeks ago and bought a really nice Rocks and Minerals book).

They also had a "Be Creative" Art Program at the Library 

 Art Program Photos.

Due to the kids great job at the VBS this week as best as they could do for starting a new schedule and all....

As a treat I Surprised them with a picnic lunch at the Beach On Friday Afternoon..

(Their daddy did get to join us thankfully).

On Saturday....

The kids had their Home Depot Workshop they made Message Centers..

Later On Saturday...I was reorganizing the school room and the kids spent time in the Yard with their dad...and I also caught some Sibling Kindness and today Sunday we did some of our Camp Be Yon Key and spent the day cleaning the upstairs the kids bedrooms were a mess and our daughter's room we are strippping the wallpaper and going to paint it finally!!

It's been a Fun Week!!!!

Oh! We received our red wigglers this week or composting worms and the post office killed them they arrived stinky and dead, so they are reshipping them tomorrow Monday Aug. 3rd and hopefully they will arrive live--their habitat is of course ready...will get back to you on those.
