Fun Depot

If you've never been to Fun Depot in Asheville, you need to go. The children from Sis. K's Sunday School went and had a ball. Little man went with us so we could chaperone. The children were so good. I walked around with one of the little girls. We all had fun.

We took our More @ 4 class to the Apple Orchard today. That was fun. We took a bagged lunch today and ate at the orchard. They all had a good time. We only had 10 go. It made it so much easier than taking a big crew. Dummy me forgot the camera. Even had the batteries charging last night. Oh well.

Little man had a tough time keeping quiet at church last evening. Then if I just touched him he said OUUUUUUch causing a big scene. Hoooooo, I was so aggravated. I had to take him out to have a pep talk, Shane had to take him out to have a pep talk, then I made his write sentences. I will be quiet, 15 times. That killed him of course. Man, his evening at church are rough. Not near as bad at home, but sitting that long is not his cup of tea.

Next weekend is the Yard Sale. That should be fun. We are gonna have it at a friend's house and do it together. I am excited. I don't have as much stuff than she does but I'm gonna gather my stuff this week. I got some stuff around last Saturday, but need to gather the rest. I need to get my fall stuff out to put out in the house. It's all packed away in a friend's basement. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will have a shed. That will be so nice to unload under the beds and stash in the building.

I am so anxious to get little man's room done. As soon as our foster papering goes through we are gonna rearrange his room and do the whole sport decorations. I think I am more excited than he. We are gonna sell his dresser and give him our old one. Shane's mom let us have her nice big one. It's so nice. I was glad.

Here is a couple pictures of the baptismal.










I thought I videoed it on my camera but I guess it didn't work, so no pictures of the ones that got baptized. Forgot the camera at Fun Depot too. Have to get some of Sis. K's pic's.

Well, I better get off and get back to my job. Have to go back till 5. Talk at ya later.

Busy Weekend

We had an extremely busy weekend. Wow, not home very much. Friday night Little Man had a friend over and they had a good time. I made homemade pizzas and they were very good. I was pretty proud of myself. Then Saturday, Shane got up and made biscuits and gravy. Both boys loved that, too. We ended up going to Hickory and back at the can can party. We had such an enjoyable relaxing time. Well, some were talking about going to the Mountain State Fair. Well, I decide that I would really like to go. Bless, Bro. and Sis. B for letting ride with them. We had a good time traveling to Asheville. Sis. B gave little man $ for rides. He had a blast. He enjoyed listening to AW's interesting stories. Sorry if he talked off all your ears and legs. Wow, he slept all the way home. Peace and quietness. I fell asleep too. Man was it cold in Asheville. Sis. B offered a coat, but I declined. Should of took her up on the offer. I froze. So, now were up to Sunday right. Lost track of all time. Sunday was quite busy too. Had baptismal today in the afternnoon. No sense to go home so we hung around Marion all day. Had the best birthday cake icecream at a place called Sandies I think. By the way, little man has a weekness for icecream. Doesn't like very many sweets at all , but offer icecream and he'll take you up on it. The bap-a-tis-a-mell as little man pronounces it was very nice. I'll post some pics tomorrow maybe of that. This evening The W's gave their testimonies to the whole church. It was very touching, and little man listened intently for the most part. I was very proud of him. We are 99.9% done with the licensing. I am so happy. So, my first thing is getting little man a boy's bedroom outfit. Shed the purple, which he doesn't mind, and go sportsy. He just loves his big bed, he don't care about the purple. I'm not sure what to do with all the purple stuff. May take most of it to my momma.

Speaking of my momma, I miss my family bad. I want to give my mom and dad a hug so bad. I wish we could make a surprise trip to Indy, but I don't forsee that happenin'. Time has a way of just spinnin' by.

Well, off to beddy by I go. 6 am comes awful early for the three of us.

Talk at ya'll later.

Rainy Friday

I am so very thankful for the rain, but it is no fun with little ones who love to be playing outside. I am so glad it is Friday. My hubby went to pick up another little boy to play with little man this evening and tomorrow. Little man has had a very good three weeks of school. Only 2 bad days and 1 half bad day. Better than what I imagined. His teacher called me today just to tell me that he had a wonderful day. I was overjoyed. She didn't have anything else much to say other than he is doing great. She told me not to be apologetic for his not good days. I plainly told her that I know a few of the kids in her class, and I knew that somedays she had probably weren't good. I feel for her. She does not have any children of her own yet. Wow!!

Life has been busy. With me trying to do schoolwork and helping little man every night with homework, bath, reading 15-20 min a night the night flies, and I am exhausted when I finally pillow my head at night. I long for Friday nights when I can rest and spend the evening with the "boys". And I say boys. My husband has fell to his little boy stages with little man around. It's cute most times. Sometimes, gets on my nerves.

Well, I hear boys. I shall get off and tend to making homemade pizzas. Fun fun..

Love,
Nikki

Testing the waters

Little man is testing the waters. He thought even though he did bad at school for his teacher today that he could have a great time at home. Wrong!!!! He didn't get to do anything fun at home. No playstation, no toys, no chewing gum, no snack. He thinks it's terrible, but he is not gonna get to do fun things when he's bad at school.

He's not had such a good night as of now. He won't go to sleep. Asking 50-11 questions. GRRRRR!!!

Anywhooo, I must go and chill out. I have been doing my homework and my mind may be a bit frazzled.

Fishing Fun

We took little man to the lake and went fishing Saturday evening. He had a good time. At one point he had moved, so I figured I better move my chair so I was out of his casting range. Just as I was moving into my spot, he decided to cast and wam. Yes, you figured it, he caught my hair. I just stood still and Shane came to the rescue. It wasn't really little man's fault. Just as he was casting, the wind decided to blow and blow his line back farther than intended. It was funny and that is now a big family laugh. He didn't catch any fish, Shane caught one, but he had a good time and he can cast real good. So, today on a holiday, when it's supposed to be family fun, he has made prior plans with a fella from church to take little man fishin' again. I didn't think that was quite so thoughtful of his wifey at home, but oh well. I can find bunches to do in a couple of hours while they will be gone. Little man wanted me to go, but I declined, but letting hubby know that I would be home cleaning. Hint hint. He then asked me to go. Stubborn me declined again.


Shane and little man, Shane had just caught a shirt. That was funny.



Little man sitting there patiently waiting for a fish to bite.



The sun was beautiful that night reflecting off the water. We took a ride around the whole lake.
