I can't believe its been almost a whole week since my last post! I guess I just haven't had much to say. LOL
Monday starts a new week and I'm hoping a BETTER week. Not that last week was horrible, just hectic, lots going on with several dentist appoints and kid activities. My kids went to VBS every night (Vacation Bible school) at the local Congregational church and they loved it. The theme was Galactic Blast, and each night was a new activity dealing with space. My youngest was thrilled with this, he got out of the house, and I got 2 hours by myself every night for a whole week! That was the best, I opened my laptop to Facebook, opened up a Barcadi Mojito, and just chilled by myself for 2 straight hours. Okay, a few nights I actually got productive and went out for the walk I desperately needed, and one night my girls had girl scouts, but the other nights were JUST for me. :)
They ended the week with a cute little program, all the kids put on a little performance of singing. They had little moves to go with each song. My middle daughter is a born performer, she loves every part of it and I think she will eventually be in the entertainment field. The teachers all remarked to me how she was one of the best singers they had, because she really got into everything and was happy to do as asked. That's my baby girl! My oldest is not so much in the spotlight, she is like me where she would rather just stand back and let everyone else shine. She is kinda shy and really not into the idea of everyone watching her. So she barely moved her mouth and totally looked like she was not enjoying herself AT all. Ugh. My little guy was great, he just enjoyed everything and was so funny to watch when his group went up. His best little buddy was also in his group, I'm sure they drove the teachers crazy trying to keep the 2 of them calm. Oh to be 6 again and find joy in everything and get so excited to see your buddy and hang out, even if its only Bible camp.
At the end of the program, they asked the kids if they would like, to come on Sunday and perform their songs for the church. Of course my middle daughter was thrilled and begged me to take her to church so she could do it, we were happy to do it for her. It was nice to see her get excited about something having to do with religion. I was surprised to get there and there was almost no one in that church. Its one of our oldest buildings in town, but almost no members. I wasn't quite sure what to make of that. We are Catholic and usually attend the Catholic church, so we weren't sure what to expect as far as the service went. It was a small church, but the nice thing about that was that everyone knew each other, and they were able to speak to each other by name. At the beginning, there was someone asking "Does anyone have any announcements?" , then later on, they asked "Does anyone have any prayer requests?" Everyone in the church either had a prayer request or a Thanksgiving. One of the Thanksgivings was that their Bible Camp was successful, at one evening they had 28 kids.
I'm back on the wagon for a great week, hoping to lose some more weight, and keep on being frugal. Shoprite is having a great sale this week, I can't wait to get my coupons together and plan out my attack. I've already seen a few freebies.

Have a great day!
