Taking cues from other bloggers, I am starting a food blog. I spend a lot of my time cooking and dealing with food things (I work in a resturant) so I thought I would seaparate the food part of my life from the normal every day. Just to try it out. Hey, maybe I’ll become a famous food blogger?

You can find the “new me” at www.momfood.wordpress.com. Its new, and under construction as they say. BUT it might be fun. Come check me out!

I still have two fun days to blog about from my Ocean City Trip.. I’ve loved writing about it.. kinda reliving the fun! I hope to just sit down saturday afternoon and bang it all out! We have been crazy nuts this week with our church’s Vacation Bible School. Its been super fun. The Theme is

We had a great time theming it out. The sanctuary is all decked out like a mad scientists lab. Our kids pastor has done a GREAT job with the lessons, presenting them as an Einstien look alike with a very bad fruedian accent. SO FUNNY. Every night this week I have been helping to corral 25 first and second graders. Each night we sing songs, play wild and crazy games, eat “kid food” dinners , make a fun craft or do a “scientific lab experiment, and a different lesson is presented. All based on Jesus giving kids the power to. Be Thankful, To be BRAVE, to Be respectful,  and Im not sure what tonights lesson is. But it will be along those lines. The kids have had a great time. One Night we made a “lava lamp” It was actually pretty fun! If you want to try it here are the directions.

LAVA LAMP!!

Rise out a 20 oz soda bottle and peel the label

To the bottle add 3/4 cup vegetable oil

fill the rest of the bottle with tepid water leaving about 2 inches from the top.

Into the bottle place 10 drops of food coloring

carefully drop 1/2 of an alkaseltzer into the bottle.

the reaction is NEATO!

You can add as many as you want. When you are done playing you can close up the bottle and the color dropletts are fun to play with. COOL huh?

Its been a blast.. although I am REALLY glad that tonight is the last week. We finished Softball season on monday night with Thing One’s team winning the league! Im so proud of her for taking the risk of joining a sport she’d never even tried before. The girl gots guts!
