A Message From Your Leader

I know the posts are lacking words as of late. It seems I am having a lapse in brain cell production. I will work on that....maybe eat some Power Bars of something....yep, I will work on that.
I will leave you with a quote:

-My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Green Planet Superhero

Cleaning and sanitizing the community playscape.

Raking mulch and cleaning up at the park.

Planting (more) flowers. Can you ever have too many?

Hanging the homemade birdfeeder we made at homeschool/preschool.

**Well done, my little Earth Crusader! **

The Fort that Dad Built

This is the fort that Dad built.

These are the "bug rescuers" who weathered the storm in the fort that Dad built.

This is the bump, made by the taller bug rescuer, who weathered the storm in the fort that Dad built.

These are the bugs who were saved by the bug rescuers and weathered the storm under the fort that Dad built

This is the "super swatter" to swat the mean bugs who try to bring harm to the rescued bugs, who were brought to safety by the bug rescuers and weathered the storm under the fort that Dad built.

And this is the girl, who's imagination takes flight as she swats the mean bugs and rescues the good,as she weathers all storms in the protective arms of the Dad who built this fort.

Call me Kathie Lee Gifford....

I believe.....child labor is a good thing.

Don't worry......it wasn't all work and no play.

There was time to watch roly-polies and ants dance through the garden.

And there is always plenty of time for hugs.......

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Welcome to Miami!

Hear that song??? I think I heard it like 4 million times while we were there......

Great mini vacation to South Beach.....just the old man and I. Kaelan happily stayed home and devoured her Aunt Sara. The minute we returned home, she told us we could go ahead and leave for another vacation.....I guess it would be worse if she cried for us....right?

Doug testing the water.

Sandra in her reading on the beach attire.

There were plenty of frozen drinks for Sandra.....and Diet Coke for Doug. We had a fabulous time on our GoCar tour. Basically, you head off down Ocean Dr. (and wherever else you want to go), in a little go-cart/moped type thing. There is a GPS built into the car, so you are guided the whole way. You can stop wherever you please and never get lost.....we looked so friggin' cool next to all the Lamborghini's and Porsche's in South Beach....fierce!

Doug's crew got the big prize.....later, we celebrated and drank Sprite out of it. :)



One evening, we had dinner at the most gorgeous turn of the century mansions. This place was fully restored and amazing......we are considering a purchase for a summer home....ha. I can't even fathom the price....it was valued at 22 million in 1914!

Doug gets in touch with nature in the garden.


Sandra soaks in the healing fountains.
How could you strut up those stairs and not due the Paris Hilton pose?

Doug....never to be outdone.

We had a great time....we came home ready for another vacation. Doug jumped right back on a plane and headed to Chicago and as soon as he returns, we are off to Phoenix for the bro's wedding.....ah.....I need one of those fruity drinks.

Me Make Funny

Confucius say:
"Wise man always check comment box when reading this blog."

APRIL FOOL'S, PEOPLE!!!!!

Sorry for the heart spasms and fainting spells resulting in the last blog......(especially to poor Doug).

In response to a few nasty emails and Facebook postings I got:

No, that was not my hand holding a test.....I just googled "hand holding positive pregnancy test"....don't you just love google?

No, I am not cruel and heartless.

Yes, I will tell you when it really happens....and I won't trick you again!

Now, go on and use that picture and go freak some more people out!
