Day 3 at VBS

She had so much fun! I'm really glad she's having fun. She is having some trouble paying attention and listening and sitting still. Same at home. I think that's pretty normal for a 4 year old. I think they may be expecting a little too much from the little kids. They have 4yoolds to 6th grade all in the same class! They are supposed to learn a Bible verse. Okay. But in one day?! It's the same one that the big kids are supposed to learn. I think that is a little much for her age group. So we (Scott & I) will give her rewards for trying. (They get prizes for memorizing verse). If she really tries to learn it she gets something special. Not a toy or candy necessarily but something she doesn't normally do. For example she tried really hard to learn her verse and behave last night so if the weather clears up she gets to go swimming today. (maybe tomorrow-just heard more thunder) And I bought doughnuts. But that's cuz I wanted them not just for doing good at VBS.

The weather was crazy last night. Big storms. Lost power a couple of times for several hours. We have white noise machines in all the bedrooms. We use them to sleep. Meagan can sleep through almost anything! They other day the power went out and her fan and sound machine were off. She didn't stir! Then last night I put her down with just her mobile music and no fan or sound machine. She went to sleep just fine! When the power came back on, I went in there to turn her stuff on and she didn't still! Glad she sleeps so well.

Also, Cynthia has decided she needs to carry a purse-just like Mommy! :D For those of you who don't know Cynthia is a HUGE daddy's girl so when she does stuff like that it is really special. She also wants a new camera so she can have one like Mommy's. I told her when she gets older maybe we could get her a new one even if it's not exactly like Mommy's. She has a Fisher-Price Kid tough camera and I have a Nikon. Not really a comparison. lol

I got my new camera!

I got my new camera last night! I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! it. It is so awesome! I have probably taken over 200 pictures just playing with it. It is so much fun. And pretty much idiot proof. It has the auto focus which is great! I can't wait to take pictures of the girls and email them to everyone and put them on here and DAM! I can take pictures outside and with the flash it looks like its daylight! I took a picture of this guys workshop that I can see from my backyard (through my dirty door) and you can't tell! The picture looks really good. The sky is such a nice pretty blue! I love it! Thanks Stefanie!

SO can you tell which one is the new camera?
Is it camera A?



Or is it camera B?

Knee cleared!

-Yippee! My knee has been cleared by the doc. I can start working out again tomorrow. I was gonna do it tonight, but I'm too tired. I will get up in the am w/ S, and wake-up and either walk around the block or do the DVD workout. Maybe both. Depends how I feel. I am up for 2 challenges. One is a Biggest Loser type and the other is 1000 minutes of exercise in Feb. I'm already behind! I should hurry! Weight loss is up to almost 8lbs. It was almost 10lbs, but the I had a couple of days of really bad eating. It's funny, I can't eat as much crap as I used to. For example, we had Chicken Fried Steak the other night (great diet food) and I ate a 'normal' amount and felt sick! Okay, maybe it was a little more than normal, but it wasn't THAT much. I have found that my body doesn't want the fatty crap as much. I do still crave caffeine and sugar and indulge a little bit on the sweets (haven't even tried to cut out the caffeine). I figure I should listen to my body and if it wants a little bit of a treat, then do it otherwise I might over eat.

Let's see, what else has been going on...Oh! I'm getting a new camera. Well, new to me. It is a Nikon D40x. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it probably what I need. You know since I don't know anything about photography. LOL! I'm also getting one of my dogs and my cat fixed. That is the most exciting news, actually. I am so tired of the horny kitty and Gabriel acting stupid when Sushi is in heat. Sushi first, then Gizmo. Maybe I could do them both at the same time. I need to get a carrier for the kitty.

We hope to put some money aside for the house emergency fund, get caught up on bills, get car stuff taken care of and buy the girls some clothes! I am so EXCITED! C needs shoes so bad. I actually dreamt we bought her new shoes. I want to get her at least one really good pair. The others can be WM or whatever, but one really good pair.
