Weekend away….

This weekend all of my family had a full schedule in Orlando involving MAYS Orchestra.  So we turned it into a little vacation for us. I found a wonderful hotel that had a suite with two bedrooms, kitchen and living room. Three pools two which where heated, yes it was needed in Florida but not for to much longer.

Turns out that where the hotel was located was a gem for my family. They were so happy we were right around the corner from a fun park with go carts and arcade.

Sacrifice

On Saturday we had a flat tire on our way home on a major highway. So thankful hubby was with us!.

Get everything out start jacking up the truck, ahum….truck rolling what? It sure did ok so lets readjust push the ER park harder. ahum truck falling …….yes, the jack slide and the truck again off.

The ground was so soft and moist the jack kept sinking….

Now the sun is setting this is not going well can not get the truck high enough……think, look…….. what can we but under the jack what do we have that is thick and hard enough?

Of course my son was like “COOL” no more math!

See out of all four of my children, it is this son that drags math out for hours……..So we had some fun with him…

Dadddy told him remember that pack we made, I took care of it for you. (Just kidding around.)

Then I informed him that the damage stopped at the lesson he just finished. He was bummed meant no break from math until mom purchased a new book. He can keep going until new book arrives.

I ordered a new book off half.com last night for under $5.00. Which I already new I could and would have to do when I handed the book to hubby to be sacrificed, for our family.

Rest in peace 54. Thank you for all you gave for us…..2001-2011

Thank for we learned soon enough of the launch. I haven’t watched tv in over a week, have been staying away from media. Thanks to a friend on FB I found out in time for my children to see the launch.  We have such a great view from our front yard.
I hear there is going to be a night launch next those are awesome to watch.

New Washer

My washer  after many repairs and tender care finally kicked the bucket. This time we said enough besides tried of listening to the jet plane every time it went into spin. Then the dry joined in all the noise.
The day the end came a really wonderful set was posted to craigslist. Without much hope of getting them (priced to low for such a set). Husband contacted them and they were there with out hesitating he dropped everything to go get them.
I think my husband has heard a thank you everyday since. They are the best washer and dryer I have ever had! I am so happy the laundry is done in half the time!
Whirlpool DUET…

Our Baby turned 8

For her special day poppy planned a tea party for her friends. She was so excited about the decorating and all the details for her guesta. She made her cake and the sandwiches, helped with the fruit and then carefully placed the cookies on a plate. Poppy thought through every bit of how her day should be.

Was such a wonderful sharing moment between us, also an awesome hostess training moment.

Was so adorable watching the little girls having their very own tea party.

This pitiful faced pet of my sons. Allows my son to carry him all over the house like a baby. Feet in the air on his back baby cradle style.

will sit like a human on the sofa with my son

but look out this precious baby, boys best friend has a dark side.

DO NOT TAKE THE BLANKET AWAY!!!

Last night you would have thought he was going to fight to the death over a blanket. My son went to get into bed and the fight began. So guess who slept outside until he got back into check with who is the animal and who is boss.

Should see the making up he is doing today. Well not so quick little fellow another night outside is still on the list for your attitude last night.
