Beating the Heat

The heat of the summer reached the high temperature of # 91 last Friday so we all jumped in the car and went to my BIL's home, a 45 minutes drive from our abode.

We asked Dad to  go with us and  we were happy that he did.

Mr. Burrito  was very courages to use the  noodle to go by himself in the deep part.

Beating the heat this summer is  so much  enjoyable  in the water.  Thanks Rick and Jill for letting us swim at your pool.

VBS Journey

We were able to encourage our son to join the vacation Bible school this year.

First day:  They woke up early, ate breakfast and we walked them  in school.  Mr. Burrito said that he loved it!

 Second day:  Mr. Burrito  was still excited in going.  I had to carry him on my back going home though lol.

 Third day:  He woke up and said "I don't want to go to school" but I  bluffed him and said that if he doesn't go, he  won't be able to join the movie night that our neighbor had set up for them.  So he went.  When they came home, he told us that he cried because he was missing us.

 Fourth/last day:  He woke up resisting to go.  We had to walked  Ms. Burrito down there so we convinced him to go with us.  He never let go of Dad's hand though.  We took him home.

We're so proud of both  especially Ms. Burrito who is more than willing to go and attend the VBS with no buts and ifs.  We are also thankful that she did not get sick this year unlike last year.  Maybe she is immune with other kids already. 

Attending VBS is a great  and fun  time for kids to attend when they are off from school.  Does your kids attend  VBS too?

Yard Sale

My Niece in law recently moved so she is trying to get rid of a lot of stuff that they need anymore. They had a yard sale over at my FIL's last weekend so we went there and hangout.

Most of the stuff are still in great condition and the stuff that  my SIL was selling was the products that she have when she still have  her  store.

I was amazed how   my NIL would just charge  25 cents to one dollar each item even if they are in great condition.

Rylie bought some stuff like the bag below.  My NIL gave me this napkin holder which   matches my planters for the orchids.  Thank you so much Jen.

Her favorite find is Cathy - a  caterpillar  hotdog pillow.

My SIL also gave a bookshelf or some kind of  display thingy  which I am planning to  sand and paint afterwards.  I think that the kids  shoes would  have a great place  to  store it.  I'll show it to you next time.

A Walk in the Neighborhood

We went for a walk last weekend at our neighborhood. I like where our home is situated because it is like in the center of everything (church, hospital, school, shopping plaza) but at the same time surrounded with nature. 

There are four big fields where kids can play and run around during summer time and lots of different critters to see.

Both of these two burritos are very competitive so when they have a race,   both of them wants to win.  We always console the one that is left behind and tell them that it is okay to lose sometimes, they just need to do better next time.  Parenting really  exist everywhere, not just in homes but everywhere you go with your kids.

The background  where me and my kids are is the  Madonna High and below is the WV Community College.       St. Joe's Elementary is situated near the high school and  church, so we are  pretty lucky to find a spot where everything is.  The following are just random shots that we took as the kids ask a million questions about it lol.

My two boys are laughing  on this photo while Ms. Burrito is   goofing around and making faces hehehe.

Pink Pixie

Some photos I took during Ms. Burrito's closing party with her classmates over at Hannover Park, PA.  My pink pixie love this  miniature bridge.

Thanks everyone for the birthday greetings!
