Drama Camp was our next week. Drum, Dime, and Deer participated in a musical drama called "Who is Like the Lord?" Here Deer is participating in a song with choreography with fabric. Drum & Dime are in the background to the left of the center, second row down. The boys helped with stage set up. Drum was traced on large brown paper and then painted in a solid color and cut out for the walls of the church. They had a fantastic time and hope to participate again.
We ended our week with a picnic lunch at a nearby park on the Mississippi River. It was very dry so we were able to work our way across to the middle where we hiked down the river aways. Actually, Drum, Dime, Deer, Duke, & Dessert just took off their socks and shoes and ran across. Dot & I took a little longer as we hesitated to remove our shoes and the crossing options were limited but we made it! Dot was nervous about the amount of green goo and didn't want it on her sandals. I teased her about the possibility of snakes and then had to improve her attitude with a phone call to a friend (horray for technology!!). We finished the day with a trip to Burger King for swirly cones and then Cub Foods for our favorite donuts and licorice. The check-out clerk at Cub mentioned the kids were going to have their fill of sugar. I replied we were making a memory. She mentioned it would be Quite a memory!! It was! FUN!! (It is a memory for me just traveling through Cub with six kids and pregnant. It's like herding cats)
The following Sunday the kids performed in the drama at their grandparent's church for the two services. They did very well and we celebrated the end of camps and the beginning of school by eating out at Don Pablo's. It was another fun memory!!
School started the next day and we've kept it up. We are trying to get some extra time in for taking off after the baby comes. Speaking of which, I've felt the baby moving around. Yeah! Not super active at this point which I think I could handle if he/she decides to keep that personality. I've needed to stay on penicillin to deal with the leftover symptoms from my July bout of joint pain. My hands and feet keep falling asleep if I forget to take it - Wierd, I know. G & G W's have become my consience, putting feet to their prayers so they say, by calling daily to make sure I've remembered my morning and lunch dose. :-)
Dunk has had the motorcycles up and running which is a great motivation for finishing school! Everyone family should have such a motivator - Thanks, DH! :-) Drum holds the record for getting up early and getting school done. Speaking of which, I better get going. My website was acting up and I haven't been able to update for awhile. Maybe it will work again..we shall see. :-)
