First Feild Trip

A couple of weeks ago, Lucy went on her first feild trip ever.  She was so excited!  Her class was going to Old Baker Farm and, to top it off, we were riding over there with Evey!



Once there we got to pet all the farm animals and play on the big bails of hay...

 

 ...had lunch in the barnyard followed by a hayride with friends...

 

...we got to wander around the pumpkin patch, and Lucy indeed wandered...

 



...in search of the perfect pumpkin...

 


 

...she found one...



...or two...



...and fun was had by all!!

1st Day of Pre-K

Whew- its cold outside.  The girls are snuggled up watching a movie so I thought I would take this opportunity to update the blog.  I'll have to back it up a couple of months for this one.  Landon started school in early August this year, which left a full month before the girls started school.  Luckily, we had a summer list that we were working on, so we slowly worked on that as August passed flew by.  However, after labor day, both girls had their first day of school.



I had put them on a waiting list at another school but after the summer passed without hearing anything, I resigned to the fact that they did not get in.  However, the Friday before school started, I got the phone call that Lucy had made it in.  I rushed over to fill out the paper work to reserve her spot.  And I left so happy for her and just knowing I would get the call that Lynlee got in too.  I never got that call.  So the girls are at different schools.  I was dreading it and even thinking of keeping Lynlee at home.  However, I quickly learned its not so bad.  Don't get me wrong...its not ideal, but I can manage.  :)



The school year is underway and I cannot be more happy with Lucy's school.  Her teachers are the best. She learns a bible verse a month, which I love!  She knows all her days of the week, months of the year, and can even recite the pledge of allegiance.  Maybe I am overreacting, but I was blown away by that one.  And Lynlee is doing just as well at her school, though she had rough start.  I guess for the first 3 days of school, she bit someone.  On that third day of biting, we were warned that if it happened again, she wouldhave to take a 1 week break from school or in other words get "suspended".  At least, thats how I put it to Landon.  He was appalled when I first told him that, wondering what in the world his 2 year old sister must have done to get "suspended".  And then he was very ammused learning the works of pre-school, and that biting is what leads to "suspension" in a 2 year old world!  lol   Anyway, she hasn't bitten anyone since so we were able to avoid all that drama.  The school year is going great and treating us all well, especially me, who enjoys a few hours to myself every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  :)   Life is good!

Seasise Diaries Part III

Something is up with my pictures...I don't know why they won't scale down to the blog but they won't and I sick of messing with it.  So here's my post with messed up pics.  :)

One of the best things about 30A is the food.  And one of my most favorite restaurants happens to be down there.  If you ever go to the area, I'll give you one guess.  :)



Red Bar  Every time I eat there, I swear its the best thing I've ever put in my mouth.




Both Ash and I had the fish, and really, I swear it is the best thing I've ever eaten!  :)  Then, besides the great food, there's the even better company...







I'm not sure there was as much talking as their was laughing.  I laughed until I cried. And a lot if it had to do with a cocktail named "Stinky Juice" aaannnd this video may have had a little to do with it too :)


oh.my.gosh.  I still die laughing every time I watch it.  (how old am I?? :))

Anyways...




You may can guess why our dinner was so funny, but I can't post pics really of why I laughed so hard, or they may not be my friend anymore, but it.was.funny!   I couldn't help but be slightly paranoid on what the other patrons that night were thinking of our crazy selves.  By the time we got back to the house, half of us were ready for bed, and the rest of us wanted to keep the party going.  which we did.  Too much fun to even remember to take any pictures, but I do happen to have this...




and this...




and that's all I can leave you with.  That and the fact that I have NEVER EVER laughed so hard.

After our late night, my three were ready to start the day. - bright and early!



So back to the beach we go...




Ahhh, wish I was back there now!!

1st day of 4th Grade

Well, we did it!  We all woke up on time, got dressed and fed, and got my oldest off to school in time.  I am in a total funk that our summer is officially over...blah!  And I got a little emotional that all my babies are growing up way to fast!  But, am hoping Landon has the best first day, of what I'm sure, will be a great year! 

The Seasise Diaries Part II

So, in just a 7 days at the beach, I took over 500 pictures, and I'm having a very hard time narrowing them down.  Anyhow, even though the beach could have provided all of our entertainment for the beach, we did venture out everyday to do something or another.  Ususally, for us, it was a quick bike ride to Seaside "downtown".  Those bike rides were really my favorite part of our trip.  We would just decide to load up at a moments notice and go.










Several days we grabbed lunch from one of the many food trucks.  (I think they are so cute!)




I think she's really cute too  :)











And another day, we biked over to watched a children's play on the lawn...









and one night we caught a concert that was awesome.  I can't rememeber the name of the band, which is a bummer, becasuse they were really really good.


























Just a few more reasons I love this place.

The Seaside Diaries - Part I

First of all, I am so psyched to have my blog almost all the way caught up.  I have been on a roll and I'm not gonna stop til its done.  (In my head that was to the tune of some song, perhaps one I made up)  Anyhow, a few weeks ago, we took a trip down to the beach.  My favorite beach.  Seaside.  Its one of my favorite places.ever! 












It might be one of her favorite places too ! :)   This year we went with our good friends the Fry's and the Mizerany's.  We all arrived around the same time and the fun started from that minute on. 



Anyhow, we hit the the beach everyday....










and we swam...









and played in the sand...






and sometimes that sand brought tears...



But the tears were very few and far between.  The weather was gorgeous all week and smiles were slapped across our faces all week.  Wishing I was back there now...





Is it too late to squeeze in a quick trip before school, because I am very tempted!  :)
