Waiting for Drama

I have hit a dry spell on blogging....but just wait. I start homeschooling next week, Richard starts teaching again and the following week Wayne moves out and goes to college. We will... have... drama. Can't you imagine? Pray that it is simple, funny drama, not major drama!

Jack crackes me up!

Richard said, "Jack, do you know how much I love you?"

Jack answered,"Yes."

Richard said, "How do you know that?"

Jack matter factly answered, "Because I'm a genious."

The family at Vogel

The Grandkids

The kids and family

The "Grownups"

Kids in the Car

Riding in the car with three children crammed in the backseat behind you is no fun. We don't have one of those DVD players to occupy them. We brought toys galore and I even brought my laptop with movies to play (but that didn't work - it did work at home then we get the 3 kids off from home and it won't work). I just don't know how people traveled before electronics. We had music the kids liked playing, toys for each and they still fought over every thing. We put Jack in the middle to keep Parker and Josie separated because they usually fight worse, but this time Jack and Josie could not get along and when they did they were laughing hysterically and shrilly screaming. I suppose since that was the worst part of the trip, I should not complain.

Home, Sweet Home....

We just got home and unloaded. Who says vacation is relaxing? It is stressful to pack to get ready to go and it is stressful to unpack and get ready to go back to work/school. Just as I suspected though, I am very glad to be home, to use my own shower, and my own bed. Speaking of bed, I'm off to get in it!

I have lots to blog about in the next few days....meeting new friends and family....new experiences at Vogel State Park....and kids in a car for 6 hours with no (yes, I said nada) television.

You decide: Too much Spongebob?

Jack was sitting in front of the fire at the campsite and he was intently watching when he said, "Grandma, look at those fire bubbles!" He is right they do look like fire bubbles when sparks fly off the logs.

Lions and Tigers and BEARS, oh my!

Typical marshmallow roasting...


Worm grubbing....(yes, that is Josie picking up worms)





Our camp! (Daddy knows what he is doing)

BEARS!!! in the camp.

We are having fun and going to continue to have more fun... Updates later!
