Snack week

As a mom of 3 and sometimes a caretaker of 5 young ones, I find little time to get online and post to our blog.  My intentions are good, but somehow the day flies by and it is time for bed.  I am taking a little time now while Cami and Ian sleep and Ben is in school to give an update on our lives this past month.  

Our weekends and week days have been filled with activity.  I am watching a friends kids, ages 8 weeks and 2 years old, 2 1/2 days a week.  I really enjoy having them and the kids enjoy having playmates on those days.  Cami likes playing dolls and dress up with Amelia.  Amelia LOVES the extra attention Cami gives her.  Cami acts like a little mommy to Ian, Amelia, and baby Ben.  She is a wonderful helper and a fun playmate.  

Justin took on a dare from co workers at Strand to dress up as Robin from Batman and Robin.  He raised money for the Bread of Life Food Pantry at church.  He got up early and rode his bike to work.  He spent the entire day dressed up as Robin.  The guys in his office even video taped it and uploaded it to You Tube.  Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFOHYPNryDA

Ben was in charge of snacks this week.  He has been looking forward to this week since the beginning of the school year.  He chose to bring Kimbop for one of his snack days.  We were able to get child size kimbop for the kids.  We were able to pick it up on Tuesday morning and bring it over to school in time for the kids to eat it with their lunch.  We brought granola bars for the actual morning snack since the kimbop was not ready until 10am.  It was a hit with the kids and adults!  Ben is finishing up his week of snacks tomorrow and we are proud to say that he made all pretty healthy choices for what to bring this week.
