What a GREAT day!

I.........AM............SOOOOOOOOOO............TIRED! So why am I blogging? I really don't know, maybe because I promised pictures? Maybe because we had such a great day I just have to share it? Maybe I'm just a gluten for punishment? Who knows!

Anyway- We really had a great day today! A very very busy day!

This morning we went to the Blueberry patch and picked blueberries. On the way there I told the kids what we needed to look for in a blueberry. I told them we should only pick the blue/gray ones. The red ones are not ripe yet. So they went out and they were diligent in their picking. I would put some in each of their baskets and they would say, Mommy you put in a red one. And they would get it out and throw it down.

Ashley was my best picker. She really got into it and didn't want to leave.

Mason did a good job too. He didn't want me to put any into his basket. He only wanted to put them in. This picture is of him giving me the look, that says I'll do it myself. But Mason is really excited about cooking with the blueberries. I told him he could help me make blueberry muffins.

And my Austin, he had a good time for about 1/2 hour and then he was done! He just got too hot and said he didn't like the sticks on the bushes. He wanted to go home. He said he was thirsty and I got him some water, but he said, No that he only wanted water from home.







Then after the blueberry patch, we went to Target. Guess What????? My bedding is back in the stores! I'm partly wondering if it is because Tammy and I called all the Targets and made them go look for it. Also, all the hits on their site- where I was showing everyone what I wanted. So lookie here. And the boys love it. Thank goodness! The thing that Mason likes best is the lamp or 'lightstand' as he calls it. They all call it monkey George. Yes, you and I know it is not THE curious George, but they don't and that is just what they call it. I am so happy I got it. I just love it! And it looks so cute in their room. Ashley wants a monkey George lamp too. I'm not sure how I will handle that one.

Oh there is more...I told you I had a busy day. So we ate at Target. we had pizza and popcorn. Then we went to the mall because I still had some carousel tickets

from the last time we went. We rode it twice and then played on the new indoor playground. Then I promised Austin we would ride the train. So we rode that once.
So they fell asleep on the way home about 3 minutes before we got home for a very short nap. During their nap I was able to get a shower and then 2 of them woke up before I even got dried off. So no rest for me.

Then I took them to VBS. I thought for sure they would conk out when they got home tonight. But no that little nap kept them going and going and going. I think Austin got re'Energized' on that bunny. There was/is a little more I wanted to say about their VBS. When I went to pick them up this guy was dooing a lesson about the ressurection. He did such a good job, with such little kids. I couldn't help but cry. It was so wonderful. And I just LOVE to see my kids doing the motions to the songs. It is so sweet.

I am now falling asleep at the computer! I must go to bed. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

You put me to shame! You do sooo much with the kids and you still make it to scrap night. I need one of those star wars masks too! I think it must be the space mask.
