Last week of Summer vacation

This last saturday we went to the Corn Crib with some people from church. We saw former Cubs and Cards players there. Before the game we got to go on the ball field and get autographs (Isaiah was so excited about that, He had gone thru all his ball cards to get the players out that were going to be there so they could sign them!)The boys wanted to sit out there to see if they could get a home run ball!!The girls showing their Cubs spirit. they ate blue ice cream and blue icees!And the results: The Cubs won!

So this is the last week of Summer vacation and time sure has gone by fast, here is the way the week has gone

Sunday- Mike went to the Cub-Cards game in St. Louis with the "in-laws" of the family. Zack had a birthday party to go to and then the rest of the kids went swimming at Katie's house.

Monday- Mom's Birthday. we stayed home and the kids played all day

Tuesday- we were going to have a play date with Emma before school started, but her little sister wasn't feeling good so we stayed home and I worked on bows. Zack picked hamburger and gravy for dinner.

Wednesday- Moriah made out menus for everyone to pick what they wanted for lunch, we made everyones lunch and put them in a brown bag with their names on them and headed out to Madigan State Park. We had a picnic and then went on a 2 mile hike looking for deer and whatever else we could find. (I already did a 4 mile walk/jog in the morning!!) we watched Planet 51 as a family. tonight Isaiah picked pork chops for dinner.

Thursday- Chrys and the boys came over for a play date and we worked on bow stuff. We had left overs for dinner tonight. i went for my jog tonight because it is the first day of school tomorrow for the kids!
