It's been a really long time since I've blogged but thought this would be a great time to start back up! We've been enjoying the 4th of July weekend at Shady Lakes Campground. My sister and I were here about 18 years ago and I am amazed at how this campground has grown. We arrived Friday night at about 6:45 p.m. and set up the campsite. Grandma would be so happy because we put lights on the canopy! We grilled burgers & hot dogs and had fresh fruit! Yummy. The boys were freaking out because there are so many things they wanted to do and most of the festivities didn't begin until Saturday morning.
Saturday we started with biscuits and gravy, showers and Jeff (my husband) and Kevin (my brother-n-law) took Mason and Dalton fishing for the first time. Both of the little guys caught a Bluegill. They were so excited but it didn't last long as they were only gone about an hour. Needless to say the big guys are going fishing this morning again, so they can enjoy too!
Swimming, bag tournaments and cooking on the grill was followed with awesome fireworks at the campground!! Smores and campfire afterward left everyone exhausted and sleeping in this morning till 8 a.m.
Looking forward to another day and what adventures will come...who knows but it has been a great time with family and watching the little kids have the time of their lives!
Until next time, have a Happy 4th of July!

What kind of crafting do you do with 4 year old boys???
I have a 4 year old little boy that loves to do projects and create things, but I unfortunately don't know what kind of projects to do...therefore I'm on a mission for any mom's of little boys to give me some good ideas of things I can do!!!
Are there certain projects you've tried that have worked out well? I'm not a seasoned mother in this area and would like any help that you can give!!!
We are currently making bird feeders by using older bagels, peanut butter and birdseed! But I need more ideas to keep his imagination and creative brain juices going throughout this long winter!!!
Can't wait to hear your responses!!!

Just some random thoughts and Simple Women's Daybook
I was reading "Jesus Calling" this morning that I received as a gift from Christmas and in today's devotion there were a few statements that really caught my eye and meant something to me, so I thought I would share:
"As long as you focus on Me, you are safe. If you gaze to long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. Simply call out " Help Me Jesus!" and I will lift you up. The Closer you live to me, the safer you are. Fix your eyes on Me, the one who never changes."
Have a great day!

Outside my window...grey, dreary.
I really wish....work would be over and the weekend could begin.
From the learning room...working on my essay for English Comp I class.
I am thankful for my family and their support while I attend school. This first week back has been a little rough.
I am wearing...black slacks, green top and white sweater.
I am reading....The Vampire Diaries 2nd book....can't think of the name.
I'm hoping....to get my scrapbooking room put together this weekend as I need to expand and to get a desk area set up for Dalton so he can use the computer as well.
I am creating....an area for Dalton to learn his ABC's and stuff. Need to get busy with that project.
I am praying....for Victor VanUnnik, Sr., that he makes it home safely today and that he heals fast for pain sake. That his family hangs in there and that God heals him of this disease.
On my Ipod....same old stuff, need to update it majorly! I keep saying this, but it never happens!!! LOL
Around the house...laundry as usual, painting needs to be finished and general cleaning.
One of my favorite things...a weekend that has no real big plans, just staying at home!!!
A few plans for the rest of the week...finish essay for class, go over next couple of month calendars, work in the office, work on next weeks meal plan, I have a whole like of new year's resolutions that needs to be looked at and acted upon!!! Have a great weekend!!
