It's been a long time!!!!!!!!!!!

     I know that I haven't been on here in a while I have been really busy this summer.  I am back in school but most of all you will never believe what has been consuming most of my time.  I will show you in a few what it has been.  I have really missed posting.  I check and read the blogs that I follow but just haven't had the energy to put up post myself.

     In addition I have been having a rough time.  To help you understand I have lived in SC for almost six years now.  Instead of it being easier as time goes it has become harder to be so far away from my family.  My kids have cousins their ages and I want them to have those close relationships.  I haven't been home since my baby was 8mths old and she will be 3 in December.  That is a loooooooooooong time for me.  I don't want to bore you with my problem but I needed to say it to some people who may understand since the hubby doesn't know how to respond.  I know he wants me to be happy and if we could up and move right now he would.  It will get better I hope.

     Now to show you what I have been up to:

     It has been a while since I last posted.  Summer has been good and busy around here.  I finally  just uploaded pics today so I thought I would go ahead and show you some of what has filled our summer days.

I guess she didn't like the sound of the fireworks.

They tie died their own shirts.

Birds nest found in mailbox.  LC touched it before we knew it but he said he didn't touch the eggs.  Do you know what kind of eggs these are.

Now that summer is almost over we are gearing to begin our first full year of homeschooling.  We will begin before our public schools.  I am looking forward to being responsible for my children's education and having God in their school day.  When do your kids start school and what plans do you have for the end of summer?  Do you do any special projects for the beginning of a new school year.

 

     Well, I haven't posted in a while but I haven't been in the best of moods either.  I do pretty much know why but that would be to long of a post and stuff you really don't want to hear.
    Now to my point.  This week was VBS (Vacation Bible School) at my church.  I have worked it every year since I have been at the church and have LOVED it.  I must say that we have an absolutely awesome children's ministry at my church.  Even though we attend a large church the head of the children's ministry still knows the kids and loves each of them.  This year I worked with the babies, crawling to around 14 months, and boy did they keep us busy.  I am always happy for VBS to come but by the end of the week I am POOPED!!!!  And our theme this year was

  The kids had fun and even brought home herb plants one day.  So not only learning about Jesus but also adding being healthy to it.  When is your church's VBS?  What is your theme this year?  Do your kids go now or are they to old and went when they were younger?

     Next up for us Music Camp, flag football camp, and of course more baseball.

 I had a whole post that just got deleted and since I don't remember everything that I wrote I have decided to just show you some pics of what has been happening.

Randomness!!!!!!!!!

     Well today has been an eventful day.  Hubby is out of town and has been since Friday.  I can surely say I take my hat off to single parents.  I took the kids to the pool this morning and we swam for 2 hours.  After coming back Mr. LC decides that he wants to get in trouble for what Ms. KC did yesterday.  PAINT on the playroom carpet!!!!!!!!!!  I wish I had taken pics of it but I was to red hot  upset at the time to even think of it.  KC had pink paint yesterday which I primarily got out ( just a hint of it left) and today LC decides to use green.  Now if you are wondering like I am why he do something he definitely knows better to do I can't answer that and neither could he.  Does anyone have any good ideas on getting paint out of carpet PLEASE give me all hour help.

     Next do you all remember when I told you that the hubby's job is going to build a new plant.  Well rumor has it that they are down to Tennessee and SC.  I am still hoping for Texas since they say rumor but I have been doing some research and I think that Tennessee is a state we could raise our family.  I have only checked around Nashville and its suburbs since I think that is where they are considering.  So if any of you live or have family in that area please let me know what you think about it.  It will be next year before the plant will open but since I want out of SC soooooooooooo bad and it may take that long for our house to sell I starting early.  Hopefully we will know something in the next week or so.
So I leave you with a few pics from Franklin,Tn.


Franklin, a town I would consider.
