Camping Update

We did not have to pretend we went camping because we did. ( If you are confused, see my previous post.)
Jayster and I stayed on our lake lot in this jewel. Actually. it was very nice and I must say- paradise compared to a tent.

This was our camping essentials- notice Cheeze-Its, Chips, Fudge Rounds. This is all
food that we usually do not eat. I went a little crazy at Walmart.

Scruff and his spread of toys. Fun fact about Scruff MaGruff: he counts his toys. He will watch you get all of these high priced toys out of his bag. If you forget one, he whines or digs in the bag until it is out.
Him is so smart!!
                                                                   
                                                                     This is our view!
Oh, how peaceful!
    
                                               


Our camping pic! Do you see the "Green Machine" blinging in the sun?
Yes, we are the owners of this fine piece of equipment.
It is a "work"truck. This is how J described it to me when he bought it.
I'm going to start using that excuse when I want something- its a work outfit, work shoes, work makeup.
So, when you see the green machine meeting you with a USA tag(for the love, I cannot wait until that is removed) on the front- you will know who it is.

Next, we went to Mom and Dads and cut down some trees. I decided I wanted to make something out of the wood. First, we were cutting the limbs into, like ,little discs. I am going to use them for my classroom for area and circumference.
Please excuse my face- I was terrified of 1). losing a digit, 2). getting wood in my eyes because lets face it- they can't be replaced.


I know you are asking yourself, " Why does she have on those clothes?" So did I. My husband says I should wear work clothes all the time. I did not know I would be lumberjacking on a Sunday afternoon- forgive me.


My "city" chiren will be amazed by these!!

Checking out the wood chips

This picture deserves no caption...Enjoy!


Joshua- watching us and keeping up with Scruff who was trying to attack every animal bigger than him.

Scruff chased away 2 dogs and 1 cat which looked like it had a part in the Lion King. I think Scruff has Napoleon syndrome- you know little man syndrome. Bless his heart, him is so cute I can hardly stand it!
Here is my new project- I am going to make a couple of things with these but that is for a later blog.

It was a great weekend! Family, sunshine and country living- it does not get much better than that!!

Oh and here is a verse for the week. I memorized this but forgot the book it was in. I love it and really, really needed to see this!

" Commit thy ways unto the Lord: trust also in him and He shall bring it to pass"
