What a week!

Ok, so it seems this week might have been the busiest week of the summer! Remind me of this after the summer is over and I might have to rethink that statement. It started with my dr's appt on Monday morning. Everything is fine and I even lost a pound! Woopie, seeing that I gained 9 the month before! :0) Then later that afternoon, Caleb went to teen camp. This was his first year going to teen camp, but he did great! Mom had a harder time, but prayed for him daily. Then starting Monday night, Austin had his cubscout twilight camp at the Crown College campus. That was nightly (except for Wednesday which is church) from 5:30-9ish PM. We were all able to go up there since they had special activities for "tag-a-longs" which included games, crafts, walks and snacks. Daddy helped with the b.b. gun shooting range and I, while sitting on the side lines, made sure no one went past the caution tape along the side of the shooting range! :0)

Tuesday was a long day of babysitting then twilight camp.

Wednesday I had my 3 hour glucose test (which I passed, but that was a looooong morning!), then church that night.

Thursday was clean the house day and twilight camp. After camp, we were able to go to the grocery store to buy groceries that was much needed!

Friday, we loaded up the van at 7:45AM to go to a yard sale that was selling maternity clothes. I didn't find much of what I was looking for but we did find some added blessings. We then came home for an hour or so, then up to the school park for about a half hour (it was soooo hot!) while we waited for Caleb to come back from camp. Twilight camp finished up that night with a campfire from 9-10PM. Austin earned many awards during the week, plus shot the bullseye many times with the b.b. gun!! Good job, Austin!

Saturday, Daddy took the older 5 kids fishing since it was free fishing day! They had alot of fun fishing and swimming to top off the end of the day. They came home for about an hour, then we headed out to shop for some needed items and grabbed burgers at BK so make it home in time to get ready for Sunday.

I am tired just thinking about our exciting week!! We are grateful to God for his provision and for his hand of protection during our very busy week!

BTW, can you believe with all that happened this week, we didn't take 1 picture??? Yikes! Here is a picture of the kids from last fall. Better than nothing, right?? I will try to do better the rest of the summer! ;0)

This verse was from our Sunday School lesson yesterday that was very good!
"What the Bible has to say about liquor"
Habakkuk 2:15
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink,
that puttest thy bottle to him,
and makest him drunken also,
that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
