Bugs and Bowling

On Wednesday nights at church, C has a class for his age group. It's a class for the summer and it's led by our church secretary. She does such a good job. They are covering the days of creation and are currently on the day that bugs were created (I'm not sure which day that would be). She let some of the kids borrow a bug catcher last week. They were to catch a bug and bring it in this past Wed to class so they could look at these bugs with a magnifying glass. So Tues night, Daddy and C were out back looking for a grasshopper or something. Daddy was out by the pond with a little net and the container and C had tweezers (not sure about those) They looked for at least 45 min. Nothing. The one time we wanted bugs, none were to be found. Of course, C was disappointed. So my solution? On the "way" to church we stopped at the pet store and bought him a cricket for 10 cents. He was so proud of that cricket. You would have thought he actually caught it. The teacher was impressed that we had thought to go buy a bug. I was pretty proud of myself too. Next is an ant farm. I hope we don't have to "babysit" them for the week any time soon. After church we went out for pizza with friends from church so we didn't get home til late. But yummy! Monicals pizza ROCKS!

Thursday I took the kids bowling. If you log onto http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/ you can get 2 free games per kid per weekday for free. It's a nation wide thing, but only certain alleys participate. And some you have to pay for the shoes, but that's usually pretty inexpensive. So we went bowling today. The kids love it. Two friends from church showed up, so there were 4 kids on our lane. K used this ball ramp thingy. All you do is set the ball on top and she pushes it off onto the lane. Pretty cool. We had fun. C scored a 63 and was in 2nd place--as he likes to say. K actually was in 3rd. Then tonight we went out to eat after I had an eye appointment (Daddy was home early!! Yeah!!) and did some shopping for our 4th of July party tomorrow night.

On a side note: refer to the previous post regarding K being naked. Today I put her down for a nap and 45 min later she was still awake. When I walked by her room, I heard her saying "Mommy, cold" so I poked my head in her room. You guessed it. Naked. And this time she had peed and was sitting in it. So I'm sure she was cold. So I changed her bed, dressed her and gave her a stern talking to "You leave your clothes alone and go to sleep!" All I can do is shake my head.

Tomorrow and Saturday will be busy, so I will check back in the beginning of next week. Happy July 4th!
