Labor Day Fun

9:40 PM
Took the kids to our local park today to see the finals in the Powerboat Nationals.  We passed one of these boats on a trailer behind a car the other day and had never seen anything like it.  They almost look like a cross between a boat, jetski, and submarine! :)  A couple days later I saw a sign in town for the Regatta and looked it up online.  The races were all weekend, and I had wanted to go Saturday when they also have a cardboard boat race, but the weather Saturday and most of Sunday was awful and I wasn't feeling well Saturday anyway, so today we went.  It was a PERFECT day too... hot in the sun but there was lots of shade and a cool breeze and it was gorgeous!  Of course there were carnival food vendors... so we brought some change and had a treat or two!


Braeden had a Root Beer Float...
and then played with the straw! :)



Olivia had a pulled pork sandwich.



I had pulled pork lettuce wraps that were awesome!

And Liam of course had cheese fries.


The biggest pile of cheese and fries I've ever seen.

 

Which I think ruined his shirt when we picked up the plate
and saw the HUGE grease stain on the shirt! :0(


We had lots of fun though, 
and if we decide to go next year we now know 
the tricks of bringing coolers, etc,
and where best to sit!

Happy Labor Day!

About Me

I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
