Flashback Friday

Okay, so the color gives it away--wish there was a chance of this happening here this winter.

Our apologies for being AWOL the past week - time is flying by too fast.

The story behind this picture, if you don't remember, is the Dad was having so much fun pulling her down the driveway in this plastic laundry basket until she started to cry. I kept saying, "I think there's something wrong, she sounds hurt." But the Dad insisted she was fine. When he finally tired and brought her in, we noticed that there was a hole in the bottom of the basket, and her poor little tusshie was cold and wet. She loves that story now. Wait until she's engaged.....oh, the stories we'll have to tell...........but what a great smile, eh?

World Geography

This week's assignment for the two taking world geography through Florida Virtual School was to pick a European country, and make a graph of its particulars, and write an imaginary 5 day itinerary. Once they had submitted that, they had to pick a food indigenous to their country, find a recipe, shop for the ingredients, and cook the food for their family. This class has been tough for all of us. Full of "busy work" and assignments that don't match whats being studied, and miscommunication between the teachers and what's expected of their students. Throw in some inappropriate emails from unknown classmates, and we're wondering if this is a path worth taking, even if it is free. However, since H. chose Italy, she made stromboli for lunch, and since N. chose France, we had crepes with strawberry and whipped cream for dessert. At least something has come out of it!

Flashback Friday-cousins!

It's not flashing back too far to see this pictures. It's just been a long day, and I don't want to take the time to try to download other pictures, and we can't figure out how to post the pictures Jerry sent us (I haven't asked K. the computer guru yet, though).

Still hot and steamy in Florida-----

H/cousins/Dentist

These pictures of H. were taken on the way to Atlanta (note the ever-present construction on 75) and the one of her and NC cousin #2 was taken at Underground Atlanta.




















These two glamor girls are just too hip to beat, don't you think?


The jury is still out on whether M. was enjoying the dentist, or despising it. The only thing that got him to open his mouth was when big sister, K. told him if he didn't open up, N. was going to beat him to be finished. Now you know he can't let a bigger sibling beat him!
