birthday wishes




A day early SHOUT OUT to Grandma Kathleen. It is her birthday tomorrow and I wanted to send her a cute picture of Jack holding a sign but he wanted nothing to do with that idea. This is as good as it gets. lol Happy Birthday Kathleen, XOXOX!

no more soccer!



I am so happy there is no more soccer! Woo hoo! I can not wait to stay at home tonight and not rush thru homeword, dinner, to the fields, home for showers, in bed before it got too late. I am sure Grif will miss it, I however, will not. I am sure if I didn't have to entertain Jack for 60-90 minutes 3 times a week it would be a whole different story. The picture is AFTER his game and trophy ceremony. Probably the roughest game yet. Everyone was bruised, sweaty and banged up.

dirty play






We have soccer practice twice a week. I used to get to walk during those times but Jack doesn't cooperate much for stroller time lately. Instead he wants to go run around. He has discovered that drawing in the red baseball field dirt is great fun. Of course this requires a shower for Grif after practice and a bath for Jack to remove the clay type soil from every inch of him. Monday and Wednesdays I am lucky if I get to relax before 9am. THANK goodness soccer is over on the 23rd. That is probably close to the time I will be returning to the work force again. It will always be something. lol

WPB zoo






Went to the zoo last weekend in West Palm Beach. I think we like that one better than Miami's. More shade, lol. I am trying to plan a day trip to Miami either President's day or the 24th to go to Miami's SeaAquarium. If you are a FL resident and you go in Feb, you get a free upgrade to a yearly pass. It looks like we may get rain again Monday. We will have to see. Yes, things are WET here right now. Outtings are hard to plan around soccer, work, track, weather, me looking for work etc. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

WDW






A few snapshots from WDW. I enjoyed it. The kids loved it. With that being said, never again without Chris to help me. Too much work. I gotta say as a CA girl, I like Disneyland mucho better. lol But as this is within 3 hours, I won't knock it too bad. lol

Key West






Key West was great fun. Not a whole lot to do for the kids, but I LOVED it. Plenty of shopping, great food, lots to look at. There is a ton of Victorian, cape, Queen Anne arcitecture. The feral roosters are a hoot. There is a lot of alternative lifestyle folks there, but I think it adds to the quarkiness of the island. The only downside...takes 5 hours to drive 170 miles! No, I don't know the people on the sign to show you are at most southern point. Wasn't waiting in line to get the kids to stand for a photo, lol.

Bubbles




I am still online. I have been looking for ft work while touring preschools for Jack. I will let you all know when it all falls into place. Until then, I have some pictures to post. Jack loves bubbles!
