Our Labor Day Trip **IMG Heavy**

It's 3 AM...Don't the children look so excited to be headed to North Myrtle Beach? ;o)

I think this was about 6 am.....Sweet E was really tired. After 12 hours we finally arrive at Grandpa and Grandma's Beach house. Time for dinner and exploring their house and garage.
And then time for an evening walk on the beach.
Then on Saturday we took a field trip to Ripley's Aquarium. The whole family enjoys the aquarium (and I especially do since we now get a Homeschool discount when we go). This year they also had a pirate exhibit at the aquarium. (I think two years ago it was the Bermuda Triangle...or something similar)
Then it was time for a quick dinosaur ride before heading back to spend the rest of the day at the beach. :D
Notice that Little E is buried up to his hips. I think it took him more than 5 minutes to realize what Grandpa had done. :D Then it was time to bury the older two children. ;o)
Sunday we attended church, went to the beach for a couple of hours and then had dinner at Medieval Times. We were cheering for the Blue Knight and we all had a lot of fun.
Then on Monday we went to the beach for a couple of hours since most people had left that day. The beach was definitely not as busy and the children had a wonderful time.
After lunch my Mom and Dad watched Little E so Beloved and I could take Big T and Sweet E out on their own. We went to see a 3D Imax movie about Dolphins and Whales and then took them to play putt-putt for the very first time.
On Tuesday we headed back home. Left at 5 am, but didn't get home until 7:30 pm or so. Had van trouble. I don't really want to get into the details, but I praise the Lord for letting us arrive home safe and sound. I am so happy to have arrived home 2 1/2 hours later than not arriving at all. Lastly I will show a couple of videos. If you have made it this far through the post....Bless you! I pray that you all are having a wonderful God filled week. :D

Show and Tell Friday (7/20)

Image
Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Illness and Ouchies

Image
Well...we have had an interesting start to our week. In the early hours of Monday morning Sweet E woke up 2 different times and had thrown up in her bed. She seemed perfectly fine and I took her to a local store. We were inside for maybe 2 minutes and she threw up again. So....I got her home and let her take a nice LONG bath. Then we didn't have any problems the rest of the day. Today....she didn't seem quiet like herself, but no big deal. Them about 7:45 this evening she threw up again. But now she is running around like it never happened. Both boys appear to be fine. Now...here is were the Ouchies come in. On Monday afternoon when Sweet E was sleeping, Little E fell onto something. It took the top layer of the skin on his lip off and cut his gums. I still don't know what happened exactly. He had a pretty big lip for the rest of the day. The swelling is barely even noticeable today. So..how is everyone else's week going? ;)

Show and Tell Friday (10/26)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...
