Days 16, 17 & 18 - Weekend update




Sorry for the laps but I do have an excuse, Matthew has been sick and so all of my extra time has been spent with Matthew. More about that later!


So, we started off on weekend with sloppy joes for supper and just watching a little tv as a family!! We had a pretty lazy Saturday morning but had to get the trash ready to take to the dump (we don't have trash service that comes to the house, we take it to the dump but don't have to pay a fee). On Tom's way home he stopped off at Linda's Bakery to buy donuts and I have to say that they're pretty tasty. They we tried to think of something fun to do as a family, we could go bowling or to a movie (I don't really like going to the movies with Matthew because he can't sit for that long and I also am the one to take him out) but we had to do something to get out of the house after have two day of really cold weather. So, I went onto the Internet and found a place that is like Chuck E. Cheese but it was so much better. They had fewer games but they had miniature golf with black lights and lazer tag. The kids all had a great time and it was great to have a place to for Matt and Kevin to burn off some of there energy. Game Craze is by the 3 Bears Lodge - Jelly Stone Camp-Resort in Warrens, WI! In September of '08 the closed down the whole place because the whole place went bankrupt. It was a little freaking as we drove past on our way home because it was like a ghost town. Here is the link to the park, its beautiful but to see it totally empty was sad. http://www.jellystonewarrens.com/ According to the website they are due to open this spring but I'm not sure if they is going to happen. I know there were a lot of people who were mad because when the shut down in September there were people who lost money because they had put money down and had reservations and they got nothing. So, I hope that it opens back up, 230 people lost their jobs when it closed!!

Saturday we tried church #7 since moving to WI! I'm sure tired to church shopping. I know that God has a church for us and when we find the right church He'll let us know. This church wasn't bad, the church was awesome. It the first church, since leaving River Valley that I was able to raise my hands in worship, it was amazing. The message was good just really, really long. Due to the fact that Thomas grew up Lutheran, he has an issue if church is longer then an hour so we are still searching for our home church. We could really use your prayers in this area!!

Makenna and I usually work at the Nursing Home on Sunday afternoons, we both enjoy transporting seniors to church. While we were gone this Sunday Thomas mad Spaghetti and meatballs, which was wonderful. It was a great weekend even though we didn't do much of anything!!
