My house has been infected!!!

Or should I say chicken pox??!!! Bradley broke out yesterday. He is covered all over his face down to his tummy. Now he is running a fever. The doctor said his was a mild case since he was vacinated at one year (I would hate to see a regular case). She thinks he will clear up in time to go on our Disney trip. I'm not convinced he will though. We will see, I guess it's good we bought insurance for the trip!!! We may be canceling!

We made it through VBS this week. Bradley had to miss last night and the closing celebration tonight. I taught in Jake's class with the 2, 3, and 4 year olds. Our computers have been invaded with viruses. I will take this computer in tomorrow to be worked on. It will take 5 to 7 business days to fix! Yikes. bye bye fellow bloggers! See you in a couple of weeks!

101 Uses For Rope!

Oh My these boys!!! I have seen them playing with this rope for days now. I'm glad they are using their imaginations though.

The trap for lizards they designed...I don't think they ever caught one! The left end of the rope is tied to a fallen tree limb.

And this is what is on the right side of the rope...a cereal box. Bradley tied Randy's Mag light to the top of the box to give it some weight so it would fall faster onto the lizard. I don't think the flashlight got to stay on the box once Randy saw it :)

And this is what they called their "roller coaster" ride. I put a stop to this one quickley since they have broken this rocking chair once already! Jake sure lucked out on this ride. Bradley did all the pulling....oh these boys...never a dull moment!



I'm off to bed soon. We had a double header tonight. Came back from being down 7-0 in the first game to win it 12-11...and won the second game 7-6....no thanks to my two strike outs!!! Posted by Picasa

We were in Grapevine this past week holding the fort (or should I say ZOO) down while my parents were away. While there we celebrated Jake's 5th Birthday! A couple of different celebrations... the first with my mom and dad. Then On Thursday we went to a water park in Hurst with our friends the McGraws. They just live down the street from us and drove all the way to Hurst to enjoy the day with us and have hamburgers for dinner.
I've managed to get a pair of those FIT FLOPS from Bath and Body works. After our mobile Sunday our church had at the park in pouring down rain, I managed to ruin my summer sandals. I noticed the Fit Flops in Bath and Body Works a while back and they looked rather comfy and they are supposed to help firm your backside up. So, I went and bought myself a pair. Well, I wore them this week in Grapevine and a lot of people asked me where I got them and some strangers even asked to try them on. I had no idea they were such a hot item. Well, while staying at my moms, my sisters cat Vern (who scratched the bajeebers out of my arm on the plain ride home from New York) decided he would use my new Fit Flops for a scratching post!!! I was able to get another pair when we returned home and the lady said that Greenville was a testing spot for selling these shoes! They are sold out in the UK and online, but they are here in Greenville! Wow go figure....anyway looks like a possible ebay situation for me :) !!!

Another thing going on that i haven't said anything about is Softball. Some months ago I had connected with an old friend (Wade Floyd) and he had asked if I was playing any sports, mainly softball. When I said no he asked why not. I got to thinking and realized hey my kids are old enough to sit in the dugout and not need constant supervision...I ought to play. So I am playing with a church here in town and MAN AM I TERRIBLE!!! It's been a lot of fun, but I'm no player like I used to be...we are however 4-2 for the season so that's good! Hopefully they will ask me back next year to play again...I am getting a little better! :)

We got our truck load of sand delivered today...that's the last picture...we are leveling for the pool to go up. We had to wait this long to get sand because the rain has soaked the sand so much they haven't been able to deliver it until today! But now we have it and the boys are extatic!!!

I'M FIVE!!!
