Happy School Year

Kids acting silly after Back to School Party at Church.  First and fifth, here we come!

Since I've been pretty much a-wall this summer, I thought I'd give an update.  This summer has been CRAZY busy.  Going from here to there, taking kids to one grandparents, then another, camps, VBS, parties, friends, family, play dates, doctor appointments, dentist appointments, swim lessons, and lots and lots of driving to get to all of these places.  We finally slowed down during August and have basically spent the month floating and playing in our neighborhood pool, until this past week, when I went back to work. Wasn't it just yesterday that the last school bell of the year rang? But, here we are again and it starts tomorrow!!!!  AHHHH!  I guess, ready or not...first, third, and fifth grade, here come the Potaters.  First day pictures...coming soon....

Need a laugh...just spend an afternoon with these clowns!

Shiver me timbers! I got me hook stuck in me nose.

He's definitely Alan's.

My fruit bowl overfloweth

This time of year I tend to be somewhat of a fruitaholic. I just can't help myself. On my list was oranges and bananas but as you can tell, I was seduced by the fruit aisle. It would be a wise guess that fruit salad will be on the menu tonight...maybe even a fresh peach cobbler. YUM-MO!

"The moon is out and it shines so bright."

That was a line from some play I remember from high school.  Funny how some things stick in your head.  Found these pictures today and was fascinated by them.  Some French photographer took a series of pictures titled "Moon Games" with the moon (in various states), people, and simple props.  They're really cool.  If you click the picture it will take you to the website.  If not, here's the link:  http://digital-photography-school.com/moon-games This is now on my list of pictures I'd like to try to take...one day if I ever get around to those photography lessons.

Enjoying seafood at a restaurant on the bay.

Rain rain go away!!!

Okay, so like for the first time in forever, the hubs and I are on a short beach getaway by ourselves.   We have the perfect condo and a quick walk to the beach. We couldn't wait to spend our one and only full day here playing in the waves and laying on the beach soaking in the sun...but the weather had different plans. Rain rain and more rain. We braved it this morning and went anyway but I think we were wetter from the rain than the ocean. I'm holding out hope that the weather men are wrong and the sun will eventually shine.
