Weekend Wrap Up

We had the Heartland Carnival on Friday evening and it was a huge hit! Gavin really enjoyed the games. He also enjoyed getting the prizes at the end with all of the tickets he won! Saturday afternoon Dave, Gavin & I went bowling! It was a lot of fun and Gavin won!! Sunday was the first (Non Pre-Season) Packer Game! Gavin was a little excited!

Our Morning

As I was getting ready this morning Dave knocks on the bathroom door as asks if I am going to need the van today.
“Yes I need the van. I have to go get goldfish today for the church carnival tonight! WAIT…Why are you asking me if I need the van?”
Dave locked his keys in the truck! UGH. I watched him do this for 20+ minutes, praying he would get it unlocked, before I told him to just take the van and be back by 11am so I could go get the fish!
I really, REALLY hope this is no indication of how our day or weekend is going to go!
And yes, we have our church carnival tonight! I am really looking forward to it! I will be going to get the goldfish for the ‘fish bowl’ game today! Did you know that pet stores won’t give you goldfish if you say they are for a carnival? So…I’m going to have to fib a little bit and say they are for the kids at our church! Which really isn’t a fib, because they are for the kids!

If You Say Sew
They are so reasonably priced and they base their business on word of mouth!
Yesterday I ordered two long sleeve shirts with their designs on them. The first one was Design#5 for a little birthday boy who's birthday we have coming up this month! He loves tractors and I thought it would be perfect to add to his gift. I also ordered Gavin a Halloween shirt, Design #12Fall.Love their stuff, check them out!

Our Labor Day Weekend & Kids!

We hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! We had a great one. It was nice, eventful, but relaxing too! Friday evening we didn't do much, just hung out at home! Saturday we ran errands and headed to Wisconsin Dells to go to the Wilderness with some friends! We were home by 6pm, Gavin was asleep for the night by 6:30 and Dave and I were in bed at 7:30, ha! Sunday morning we had to be at church bright and early! We were serving both services and I had to get ready for that! After church we went to Sam's Club and stocked up and then came home and that was it, we relaxed the rest of the day! As for our Labor Day itself, we headed to Mom and Dad VV's for a late lunch cookout and we were home by 4:30! Not a very exciting labor day weekend but it was perfect for us!

Today I started watching 3 little boys! Their families go to our church and they both needed someone to watch their boys starting today. Caleb is 6 months old. I will only be watching him for 2 hours a day for the whole school year! And then Coen (3) and Peter(2), I will be watching them until the middle of October! So Far, So Good for our day. Coen, Pete & Gavin are all down for naps right now and Caleb has already left for the day!

Here is a picture of all the boys;

Computer Calling!

A few weeks ago Dave was on the computer and I hear him yell this;
"Jenna, your computer is ringing!"
Huh?!
"Jessie is calling you!"
Sure enough it was Jess calling!

Our Family recently started using.....

I signed up for skype a long time ago but never new anyone who had it or used it! We have skyped with Jess a few times (She recently moved to Austin, TX) and Gavin absolutely LOVES it! So tonight we skyped with Mom and Dad VV for the first time! I love it and I can't wait until we know more friends and family who skype!
