Saucer Summer Tour Part 3


 Friday, June 1, 2012 -  Sunday, June 3, 2012
Today was a short driving day.  We only had about 3 hrs in the van to get to Uncle Harold and Aunt Joyce’s in Pensacola, FL.  It was great to spend some time with them over the weekend!!  We had sandwiches and chips at the house with Uncle Harold when we arrived.  After lunch we settled in the living room and Mommy and Daddy took a nap while Uncle Harold headed out to pick up his grandson, Riley from day care.  We were very excited to meet him and later to see his mom, Heather!!  It was a very relaxing weekend just hanging out.  I really got homesick for living near Uncle Harold and Aunt Joyce and as we spend more time in Florida I miss living here more and more. 

The boys had a BLAST!!  They get spoiled every time we visit Uncle Harold and Aunt Joyce.  They spend all of Saturday playing the back yard kiddy pool and sprinklers with Rachael!!  On Sunday, Uncle Harold took all 3 boys to Denny’s for breakfast by himself.  He said Eddie ate 2 full kids meals and must have a hallow leg!!  They stopped at the park on their way home and Joey had his regular encounter with ANTS!!  He stepped in an ant hill and got tons of bites on his foot!!  Aunt Joyce fixed him up at the house while Mommy and Daddy loaded the van to get on the road.  We stopped by Heather and Todd’s on our way through Milton.  Their house is very close to the bay so Mommy spent some time with Riley while the rest of the crew walked to the end of the road to see the bay.  Eddie got in BIG trouble there as he decided to throw Joey into the Bay for a better view!!  We got everyone cleaned up and disciplined and were back on the road.  Then it was off to Orlando for more FUN!!  We got to our hotel for a late dinner at the Texas Roadhouse across the parking lot and then it was time for bed.

First Day of School Panic Attack

Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride.  He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway! A picture of the school close up Our...

Dreaming of a White Christmas

While a "White" Christmas is something many dream of, I'm pretty confident in saying I dream and pray that this will be my LAST white Christmas!! It's funny how the only things about snow that "stick" in your memory are the snowball fights, snowman building, sledding and FUN!!! Daniel and I decided the boys would really enjoy seeing snow for the first time this year. So we packed up our mini van turned into a sleigh and then hit the highway our destination was 2 days away. Over the highways and byways we glide to grandmother's house we drive. With turn right or turn left we trust GPS to get us there alive. It turns out we have very bad trip coordination with mother nature. She seemed to think this weekend was the perfect time for a blizzard/white out to visit the mid-west. This didn't quite sync with our driving plans. The further north we drove the talk of snow increased until it was finally falling and hitting our windshield. I warned them o...
