Be careful for what you ask for

Why do I have the need to begin each post with "It has been a busy week ..." . It is always a busy week around here it seems. Is it that way in your homes or is it just me? I titled this "be careful for what you ask for". I have only myself to blame. When school started, I thought to myself, I hope I stay busy this year. Well, I can say that I have! With the kids in 3rd and 4th grades and the volunteer needs decline I was a little worried. Not anymore!! Between volunteering in both schools' libraries, my Bible Study, household stuff, sewing/monogramming... the list goes on.

You may remember we gave our snail "Darth" to some friends because they wouldn't stop laying eggs? Well Sunshine, the yellow one we kept, died. So we now have Blueberry:

And we learned that snails are technically both genders. Kind of gross to me. So unless you want more, only have one snail at a time!

Annamarye received her 3rd grade Bible at church. Sorry that it isn't a great picture. I tried to snap it quickly with my phone. I have this thing about taking pictures during church. It bugs me when people think of it as a photo shoot. I know people want pictures of their children being baptized, but some go overboard. Last week the family friends had 5 cameras all out taking pictures of a baby being baptized!! A little crazy to me!
Anyway, the afternoon after getting her Bible, we attended a Bible Workshop for the 3rd graders. It was a lot of fun. James got his last year. Johnny and I both still have our Bibles we got in 3rd grade.
Another thing that has kept me busy is both schools had "fun runs". I am very blessed and thankful that I am able to do and go to school events!! Sometimes it gets crazy, but I love it!
Here's Annamarye with some friends at their run!
Last Thursday was Parenting Day. I started out at Annamarye's class and went to lunch and then headed to James' class and lunch. Then I had to go back to Annamarye's school for my library duty. Anyway, here is James and his friend Ken. It was also pajama day for them. Why they would schedule pj day and Parenting Day the same day is crazy to me!
Friday night, James went with his friend Carter to Boo at the Zoo. They had a blast!! Can you tell?
Saturday night, Annamarye went to a Halloween/Birthday party. She is Fancy Nancy. Annamarye is so funny, she loves dressing up at home, putting on make-up, jewelry, etc.. But when it comes to dressing up for parties she isn't that into it.
Johnny went on Annamarye's field trip to DeSoto Caverns, but unfortunately the disc in the camera I gave him didn't work so I have no pictures. I will get some from her teacher and will post later. We have also been to the pumpkin patch, I just haven't had time to load the pictures! They will be coming soon!
