Wednesday

What a busy day! It started off kind of slow, although Mom looked awfully busy in that kitchen (she said she was cooking for our friends who have a sick little boy). Then we scurried off to Cool Creek Park for Mom’s book club. She reads the books and talks about them, and we get to play – cool, she does all the work!  A friend, Alex, was there from church and we liked playing with her before our other friends from church (and the book club) got there. After playing for a while, we hurried back home so the baby could take a nap. One of the things we need to do for VBS is to try to do some chores to earn extra money to donate to missions at church (and it is a contest to see who can raise the most money). So, Cole and I picked up sticks in the yard – and after all the storms and wind we have had, there were a LOT of sticks. So after all our hard work, I earned 50 cents (I took a lot of breaks) and Cole earned $2 (he picked up all the big sticks). Then, when the baby woke up from her nap, if we ate all our lunch(chicken nuggets, sweet potatoes, pears, and cucumbers) quickly (which the quick part is a challenge for me) – then we got to go to the splash park. As you can see from the pictures below – we did it! Looks like another beautiful day that the Lord has made – I sure will rejoice and be glad in it (when I wake up).  VBS wears me out! Love to all – E1
