Brrrrr....

It's another cold day in Panama, but at least it isn't raining. We walked down to the pier today. I think we were the only ones on the beach wearing jeans and sweatshirts! Everyone else is on the beach in swimsuits folding their arms around themselves shivering. WHY? The funny thing is that they are looking at us like we are the strange ones! I just don't understand. 😳

The boys want to go down to the hot tub tonight for our last night. Now, that is something I can handle!

Only Bo!

I just had to share the adventures of Kyle and Eric with you all. For Easter, the boys found an alien egg in their Easter baskets. When the eggs are soaked in water, an alien will hatch from it and grow. The aliens had not completed their growing cycle when we left for the beach, so the boys had to leave them in the water. Bo is home taking care of the fort while we are gone and I guess he got bored, so he texted us this skit.

Unsure of his new environment, the newly hatched alien peers cautiously into the unknown.

So tell me, how was the atmosphere outside the drinking glass?

Eric: Holy crap Kyle. I think I see a way out of here.

Kyle: What is it?
Eric:Holy A time machine.

Eric : I have selected the year 2020. Once I close the door, push start.

Kyle: uh okay. I hope this doesn't wake the leader.

Kyle: Eric!?

Eric: Kyle?!

Eric: Nevermind the time machine. Help me plug-in this transporter.

THE END

Spring Break 2013

For Sarah's last high school spring break, she wanted to go to Panama City Beach. What teenager doesn't, right? We arrived on Tuesday and will go home on Saturday. The weather was great the first day, but the past two days have been less than desirable. It has rained all day, so we have had a very lazy (but needed) day vegging out on tv. The most exciting thing that happened today was a boy asking a girl to prom by writing huge letters in the sand. It was kinda cute.

We are hoping that the remainder of the week will be warmer. The boys and I took a stroll on the beach looking for crabs last night, but found nothing.

We might venture out to the shops today.

Scouting for Food

The boys' Cub Scout Troop has been in a mission to collect canned goods to contribute to the Carroll County Soup Kitchen. The boys went door to door to every home in our subdivision and collected cans from our neighbors. They didn't collect as many as they had hoped to, but I think they did great!

Sarah is 18!!

I'm a week late, but I still want to give a shout out to Sarah. She turned 18 years old on March 26, 2013 and is now a legal adult! It's sad that she is no longer a child, but exciting for her to step into the world of adulthood. Even as an adult, she will always have a piece of our heart which is why Bo gave her a special keychain set for her birthday. She holds the heart on her keys and Bo keeps the key on his. Happy birthday, Princess!

Green Team

Connor's elementary school has formed a new club called The Green Team. He is excited to be a member of its first year. The team has been learning about growing your own food and they have chosen a place at the school to make a raised bed. Next week, they will decide what to plant. Connor enjoys planting things and watching them grow, so this should be neat for him.

Baseball

Practice has begun for Connor's second baseball season. Games should be underway in a few weeks. Baseball is his favorite sport by far. He is on the A's team this year. I love to watch him play!!
