Just "Stuff"

I'm not really in the "thinking" mood tonight so my title is a bit boring! Sorry...

Matthew and Jacob are having a great time at VBS this week. They are going uptown to 1st Baptist since we will be gone the week of ours at our church. The theme is Outrigger Island and it's a tropical theme...just perfect for right before our trip to Destin! They are learning about God's unshakeable TRUTH. Rob & I both have good memories of Bible School so we make a point of having the boys attend at least one in the summer...usually the one at our church. This year we're going to the one at Fruitland Community Church too...but it's not until August.

I picked up our Destin vacation package today! Lots of GREAT info...I'm trying to soak it all in! Rob just mentioned the other day that he doesn't want our days all filled with stuff to do...he just wants to relax and if we feel like doing something, we will. He has really been worn out lately...he's been working about 50 hours a week...that includes leaving at 1:30 in the morning some days...this vacation will be good for him...not to mention for me too!

This afternoon we spent most of the time in Matthew's room...he and Jacob were building this "contraption" that was like a pulley system. They have a string attached in the closet that goes to the opposite end of the room on the ceiling. There is a cup attached to it and it works like a pulley...pretty cool. They have quite the imagination and it kept them busy for hours!

As I was vacuuming this evening, I peeked out the front yard to find a snail castle! The boys had found this tiny snail that was alive. They built this "castle" out of sticks and the snail was just kind of hanging out there. After this day today I wonder why in the world we even NEED toys!!!

Have a great night and thanks for checking in!
