SANDY STUFF

And when we weren't enjoying the pool we were hitting the local beaches!

These kids were having so much fun.   Digging and hunting for sea creatures and shells kept them busy for hours. 

Sanibel Island is known for it's shelling and apparently we hit it on a good day... so much stuff had washed up during the night.   It was like a biology lesson for the kids. 





And we also had the hit Ft. Meyers beach.  We just love the miles of white sand beaches.   PERFECTION!

He's trying to make snowballs out of sand.  Hey, we are from Chicago... that's what we know!

Cheers!  To ice cream!

SUNSHINE & SWIMMING

Hi.
I've been gone for so long.  I know.

I am feeling the need on this cold, windy and rainy night to share some fun in the sun.
Yes... these are from our spring break adventure a whole MONTH ago. 

Are you ready?  Vitamin D coming at ya......



Dad worked for a solid week on toning his arms and shoulders.  We find child-launching to be an extremely effective workout.  You should try it!

The kids had a blast.  They spent the entire week.... swimming....swimming..... swimming. 
And maybe a wee-bit of flying also.  

SCAVENGER HUNT 03.17.13

Since I am a big slacker.... and I just wasn't feeling it for the prompts this week....  I am getting 'er done with one.  Here is Dylan.... my cute little IRISH looking guy, who I am so LUCKY to have, because he is my POT OF GOLD, wearing CLOVER shades while standing in the SUNLIGHT. 

I know.  I know. 
But that is all I got!
Hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day.

SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY 03.10.13

Hello out there.  It is Sunday again and time for the weekly scavenger hunt - photo style. 
I'm not gonna lie.... I got a late start this week.  So, I had to wing it a little.


[#5]

I found one on my mail box!  And look at all that snow.  We got another 8 inches this week.  Lots of snow in piles around here.  I'm surprised the 5 is even still visible. 

[WORD OF THE DAY]

The word of the day on Friday was THAW.... or SUNSHINE!  Both words that we heartily embrace this time of year!


[SHARING]

Dylan and our neighbor are both sharing the swing on our play set.  They had a ball spinning and twirling around in circles

[WIGGLE]

And this kid can NOT get enough of wiggling and giggling in the snow.  He loves making giant snow balls.

[COOKIES]

Need I say more?  Girl scout cookies.  I blaming them for at least 4 of the 5 pounds I gained in the past two weeks.  Darn them. 

Another week down. 
Enjoy your Sunday.

SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY [03.03.13]

Hi!  I haven't forgotten about the Scavenger Hunt...... I just haven't had time to get 'er done.

I did, however, find some rainbow photos to share for this week's color challenge.  They are all sport related, since that is what we have been doing for the past few weeks.


So here goes with our sporty-rainbow-hunt!

[RED]

Chase at the snowboard hill.

[ORANGE]

Chase playing some Basketball.  He is obviously on the orange team.  And he takes that pretty seriously.  That means we have to bust out the orange socks and shorts and hoodie too. 

[YELLOW]

Dylan learning to ski.  That first shot is obviously NOT Dylan learning to ski... that would be the ski-patrol guys going down the moguls.  IMPRESSIVE.


[GREEN]

No, we definitely do NOT have green grass this time of year.  We are under 2 feet of snow right now.  So, here is Chase playing at his indoor soccer league. 

[BLUE]

That would be Dylan riding his crazy blue snowmobile sled.  They had a ball hitting that jump and flying through the air.  Oy.  These boys are certainly dare-devils. 

So, that does it for me for the week.  I feel bad that I missed that past couple hunts...but I have been hauling kids from one sport to another..... which is fear is going to be the story of my life for the next few years!
