On Sunday, when we were getting ready for church, the boys decided that all of their webkinz needed something to do while we were away. They decided if we were going to go learn about Jesus that the webkinz should have the same opportunity.
They lined up several webkinz that made up the choir, put a webkinz on the pulpit for the preacher, and finally filled the pews with the rest of the stuffed animals. It was very cute.
The sermon of the day was about Noah and his ark. I overheard "the preacher" discussing how Noah was condemned and laughed at because he was building such an absurd structure and that he was a faithful servant of the Lord. I listened to most of the sermon and it was great to hear that not all of what we teach them goes in one ear and out the other! They are great kiddos!
Now if all of their playtime could be that wholesome...yeah right, they are boys!

My Surprise!
Late yesterday afternoon, I had noticed I had ran out of romaine lettuce. I called my hubby to see if he would mind running to Wally-World after work (it is right across the street for him). Of course, he said he would.
He walked into the kitchen "tossed" the salad to me (haha), and went back outside??? I was wondering where he went, but I was in the middle of finishing dinner so I didn't think too much about it. He came back in, only this time he was holding a brand new Wii Fit!
I was so excited! I had been wanting one of them forever, but we couldn't find them anywhere. Chris had people at work (obviously, unbeknownst to me) looking for this game and one of them had found it! How wonderful my husband is.
After dinner we played it and had a great time. It was quite comical to see me do the balancing exercises, since my balance is HORRIBLE! The Wii actually asked me if I fell down a lot (husband laughing hysterically at this point). I actually do trip and fall a lot, but that isn't the point here. We had a fun evening and I cannot wait to continue to use my new exercising tool.
Thanks, honey! I love you bunches. :) You always do such wonderful things for me. I feel blessed EVERY day knowing that you are my one and only!

Expiration Is A Possiblility.
IT'S SOOO HOT HERE!
I believe yesterday and today it has been between 104 and 105 degrees outside. The heat index was over 115 degrees! It's not even August yet, what is this yankee gonna do??
The only saving grace our family has is the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the temperature of the water has been creeping up and up. I believe our water was 96 degrees today. It is almost like a hot bath in hot weather....still wonderful to have though. The previous owners of our home stated we may need to put ice cubes in the pool at some point through the summer. I understand why now!
We are in our pool every single day and we wouldn't know what to do without it.
Yesterday, we went to a nearby lake and looked around, but it was too hot to do the trails and such, maybe next time. (if it's fall, that is) hehe.
Maybe the boys and I will fry an egg on the patio tomorrow, they would get a kick out of that, I think!
