Little lessons that make a huge difference
Miss M and Miss A have been attending VBS (Vacation Bible School) this week. It has been a great experience and I was thinking that each of the beattitudes that they are "studying" each day are so easy... so why is it adults have such a hard time with them sometimes? Be Kind, Be Giving, Be Respectful, Be Forgiving. Such easy lessons that kids as young as 3 understand. It is amazing that the older we get the harder these lessons can be for some. Maybe we should all take a week off and get over to VBS! :-) I know random post, but listening to the kids talk today about all they had learned just got me thinking... I think some of us could use a refresher here and there!

A new trick....
Almost gave me a heart attack... the camera was right there so I caught it... just to show her children and give them ideas on how to give her a heart attack when she is a Mommy!
The dancing queen! As Mike says... "Better not be a future occupation!"
Monsoons...
With monsoons brings: dust storms, major rain, and humidity... the last few afternoons it has been threatening... so, we decided to do some things inside rather than risk getting out to the pool and having to come home, Miss M's asthma acting up or us melting from the humidity. The kids had some fun times:
Here they are "baking"...
Here they are "baking"...
Coloring and puzzles:
The real 4th of July
On the actual 4th, we were VERY mellow and it was nice. We went to the pool early and ended up staying a couple of hours, a good nap, board games, leftovers from the day before and a campout in the family room with hot fudge sundaes and the Macy's fireworks from NYC made it a great day!
Believe it or not Little One really was having a fun day, she just did not want to stop swimming for a picture!
The day ended with a campout in the family room with Patches "guarding" the tent.... :-)
4th of July...
Our tradition is to celebrate with the Tilghman clan... This year they were going to be leaving for a wedding so our 4th of July was on the 3rd... it was great! Both Woffinden clans were able to join us (parents and brother and family) and we had a blast... Swimming, LOTS of food, Miss Kaci's birthday, bocce ball, trampoline, Enchanted, homemade hot fudge (thanks Pam!) and great family and friends! Such a fun day! Thanks guys!
