#166 - Maximus

Mrs. Anna Dell's sweet little kitty, and a big attraction for the boys when it's time for piano lessons. (taken 6/14, posted for 6/15)

#165 - Which is it?

A little bit of contradiction on this door at Target in Mandeville. (6/14)

#164 - Bama Gear ...

at Dirt Cheap in the middle of LSU country! :) Got a tip from a fellow Bama fan, and couldn't pass up the chance to check it out! (6/13)

#163 - VBS Kids Share at Church

Another favorite part of VBS is Sunday morning, where the kids get to share their songs during the worship service ... hearing those voices sing "He Reigns" and "How Great Thou Art" just warms my heart! (And I love seeing them up there in the shirts we made during VBS Crafts!) (6/12)

#162 - Toothless Wonder

M's top tooth has been loose all week ... it finally fell out (or was knocked out) while the boys were playing today.  It's his first tooth to come out on its own ... his bottom 6 teeth have needed to be pulled by the dentist. (6/11)

#161 - Time for the Panda Pie!

At VBS, the boys and girls have a "competition" to see who gives the most offering (determined by weight each day), and this year, the girls won, so Miss Shelley got to put a pie (or two or three) in our youth minister's face!  She was excited to be on the other side of the pie for once. (6/10)

#160 - TShirt Day at VBS

One of my favorite (but most hectic) days at VBS is when we decorate T-Shirts ... but the kids love it, and I love seeing them all up on stage on Sunday morning in their shirts that THEY painted. (6/9)

#159 - Patty Panda

I love the skits at VBS, and Shelley and Laney are so good at them!!! :) (6/8)

#158 - First Piano Lesson

M is so excited about starting piano lessons ... and they went through 19 pages of the book today! :) (6/7)

#157 - Love, the CBC Youth

Today was the first day on the job for our new youth minister at church, and the youth welcomed him in grand style by decorating his office for him. (6/6)

#156 - More PandaMania Preparation

I'm in charge of crafts for VBS, so I spent a good bit of today getting my "Crazy Crafts" area set up and ready for Vacation Bible School! (6/5)

#155 - Preparing for PandaMania

We were all at the church today helping to get ready for this year's VBS, PandaMania ... Matthew helped one of our men paint a big freezer box for one of the sessions. :) (6/4)

#154 - Unpacking

It was definitely different packing all our stuff for vacation into the trunk of Maggie, our Ford Fusion, instead of the huge Suburban we used to have!  But we made it ... now to unload and unpack all that STUFF!!! (6/3)

#153 - Last Day of Vacation

We extended it as much as we could, with stops along the way home, including The Hidden Lantern, a really neat "shop on the corner" kind of bookstore in Rosemary Beach. (6/2)

#152 - Life

(6/1)

#151 - Waterboys

(5/31)

#150 - Sand Sculpting ...

This arch was part of a sandcastle we discovered while taking a walk on the beach.  While I'd like to take credit for it, I can't. (5/30)

#149 - Picture time!

Since we were already dressed from church, Mommy had to take advantage of it and take a few photos ... this was one of M on the stairs that makes me smile. (5/29)

#148 - Gone to the Beach

2 little boys ... ready to hit the sand! (5/28)

#147 - Vacation Begins

At the Florida Welcome Center on the way to the beach. (5/27)

#146 - Tablescape

Our church's Secret Sister "reveal" party was tonight, and each of the tables was decorated by different ladies.  I worked with two friends and we did a "Princess" table ... (5/26)
