the most impressive vbs

my kids have apparently not had enough of vbs!! after last week you would think we would all want a little break from the madness, but last night my family attended the most incredible vacation bible school i have ever been too. we were in such a rush that we even left the dinner table a complete mess just to be sure that we weren't late!! let me tell you what we experienced!

we had the most amazing large group time. they provided couches for the adults to sit on(parents were highly encouraged to attend with their children), and some of the best songs to sing. of course we had an offering time. i placed my dollar in the candle holder. that is what they use to show that the offering goes to show God's light to the world! impressive!!!

then it was off to craft time....in that room we created stone tablets and wrote the 10 commandments. it seemed pretty simple and a lot of fun to work with my children on this project. it made for some great conversations!!

then it was story time!! talk about creative!! the story was on noah and the flood. one person read the story straight from the bible while another person acted it out on stage - part puppet, part human! much like the professional shows you see at disney world!! there was a time of questions and answer at the end and a chance for everyone to pretend to be on the stinky boat!


then it was time for games....apparently we were running a little behind schedule so we had to play a shortened version of the game. it was an old Jesus-as-a-boy game where each person took turns seeing how far they could roll a ball. for our family map boy was the winner!!!

then it was snack time...at this vbs they save snacks for last to make sure everything else is done and put back in order. so once that task was swiftly completed they provided picnic baskets for us so enjoy our snacks on. the provided 3 different options. the kids settled on ice cream cones, mom settled on strawberry shortcake, and dad on yogurt (odd choice if you ask me!)

after snacks were finished it was closing ceremony time....we watched a fun video on moses and the plagues. then it was time to sing a song and go home! i asked the 2 directors what exactly the theme was since we had covered noah, moses, and the 10 commandments. plus touched a little on Jesus-as-a-boy!!

the 2 directors said it was all about their favorite parts of the bible!! most impressive!! what was even more impressive was that the directors were only 6 and 4 years old!! i can't believe how organized they were!!!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
