Randomness

Sorry for how long it's been since my last post! Jason was gone up to Indiana all of last week checking on the stores we still have operating there , and the kids and I just did our thing. Nothing too exciting to report. School is still going very well and the weather here is still hot as ever! On the way to the airport last Friday, the car thermometer read 101 without the heat index. Wowza.

I do have a few random pictures from the last few weeks.

This first one, you might want to skip if you don't like bugs/insects. We were eating at Pizza by the Sea on Sunday evening and the kids were playing outside, when Alex came tearing in. "Mom, you will NOT believe what I found out there. Give me your camera." ooookkkaayyyy.....

And here is what he found. Keep in mind that this guy was about the size of my entire hand.




Lovely. Why are all of the insects down here about 10 times as large as they are in Indiana?


This next picture shows that some of the best toys are made from things you might find lying around your pizza place....

Good thing Bear was in there keeping her company while she watched Alex and Dad play Wii.

Jason and I went on our first night out since we moved here last Saturday evening. We attended a local benefit auction for Children's Volunteer Health Network-- we donated a little something from PBTS for the silent auction. It was fun! We got to dress up, eat some good food, meet some locals, and just spend time together without the kids. Our kids enjoyed the babysitter Kaylyn- she was highly recommended to us by several people. We will definitely do another date night!

These last few are at the beach this last weekend. I call this "Digging to China and falling in....'

Alex was determined to catch something out in the ocean.... clam, crab, fish....

No luck, but he did find this little guy. He rescued him from being eaten by a seagull. I love this picture because it appears that the crab is looking right at Alex with his little beady crab eyes.

And Alex spend about an hour playing with him.... setting up a gladiator type arena in the sand where the crab had to try to escape. All was good in the end.... he was sent back to sea.
