Busy, Busy Day - Day 4

Today was pack full of all kinds of fun! We started the day waking up Jennifer and singing "Happy Birthday" to her. That's right. My sweet #2 turned 7, and I'm very emotional! Through age 6 they still seem like little kids. Age 7 hits and suddenly they're big kids. When did she grow up????

Anyway, we got up early and met Aunt Casie, Nolan, and Judson at the Touch-A-Truck event in Texas City. It was hot and we had some bad attitudes because I wouldn't buy them anything, but it was still lots of fun! We're definitely gonna do it again next year!!

Some of them are distracted by the helicopter taking off
in the distance, but the fact that we got one this good with
8 children is an accomplishment in and of itself!

Getting hot but still have good attitudes!

Someone gave them a sucker so we got a few smiles again!

This was at the end at the height of bad attitudes, but they
still managed a few smiles!!

When we left there we went and visited Daddy at work and bought a snack from his store. I was exhausted and so were the younger kids, and I didn't feel like getting food out at home so we ate snacks in the car while we drove!!

We took a nice long nap, and then the kids played while I wrapped presents. After that, while they waited for me to cook dinner, the kids colored some Thanksgiving themed Bible verse pages. Brand new crayons from Dollar Tree made this super exciting!!

Here is the link for the pages.
There are a couple of options available. There are three different pages available as a coloring sheet or a pre-colored page to hang as decoration. I printed a pre-colored of each page to hang in the little kids bedroom, and each child got a copy of all three coloring pages. We're gonna hang these in the dining room tomorrow!

After coloring, we ate dinner and then mommy made Brownies with Andes mint pieces and strawberry frosting. The mint brownies are my specialty, but the strawberry frosting was Jennifer's idea. It sounded nasty to me, but it was actually pretty good! Once Daddy got home from work we opened presents and had brownies before bedtime. It was a busy but fun day!!
