The Lego even went camping...

We took our first camping trip and somehow the Lego came along too.  I think we could get rid of every other toy in the house and Will wouldn't even realize it.   Will spends hours working on his Lego creations.  I think it is a good obsession as it encourages a lot of creativity.  I will say though the Lego is taking over our house.

Gud by Burt's Bee

Anyone that follows my blog knows that when I love a product I like to share it. I also love just about anything from Burt's Bees. So when I discovered the gud line, I knew I had to try it.   I picked up the Orange Petalooza  and think I just may be in love.  The lotions and body wash are very nice and smell delicious but not too over powering.   They are priced under $7 and can be found at grocery stores, Target and online.    I love products that are natural and affordable.   Now go get yourself some gud and get clean!

Run Baby Run..

Will ran his first mini marathon, the Martian Marathon.  He ran (sprinted) the entire 1.2 miles.  He logged 25 miles over about a month and then finished the last 1.2 miles.  We are so proud of him!

VeggieTales Robin Good and the Not-So-Merry Men

We are huge fans of VeggieTales and were excited to see the new DVD Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men.

DVD Synopsis:

"A long time ago, in the faraway town of Bethlingham, roved a band of merry men, led by the fearless Robin Good. Their mission: to help people by fundraising from the rich and giving to the poor!  But when a greedy Prince starts stealing the townspeople's hams, donations are down and Robins friends take off and decide to give robbing from the rich a try. Feeling rejected, Robin thinks things can't get any worse until he finds out that the ham-hoarding Prince has also captured his friends.  Can Robin overcome his own hurt, rescue his friends and restore the townspeople's hope? Find out in this fun Veggie story where kids learn that there's no hurt too big for God!"

Robin Good and his Not-So-Merry Men is a family-friendly movie packed with so many life lessons. It shows children that even when your friends aren't doing the right thing they should still do the right thing.   This story deals with rejection and disappointment and shows children how God's words can help them through their challenges.  Robin Good and the Not-So-Merry Men is sure to entertain the entire family.

 The DVD also includes a animated short, "Lenny & the Lost Birthday" which also helps teach lessons about handling hurt and forgiveness. 

We always find theVeggie Tales stories entertaining and watch them again and again.  You can visit the Veggie Tales site  to purchase the DVD and see their entire collection.  Kids can also play free online games.   I hope you enjoy the Veggie Tales stories as much as we do.
