A Columbus Day Regatta

This is a fun post.
Ethan's 1st grade class celebrated Columbus Day
by building individual boats
and then racing them down a small
creek next to the school.
The teacher sent down 2 boats at a time.

Here is Ethan right before his race.
He and his daddy had so much
fun building this boat the night before.


Ethan was one of the last two racers to go.
He was absolutely terrified when he saw he
would be racing the biggest boat in class.

I am happy to report that Ethan won hands down.
The large boat was too big for the shallow creek. It kept getting
caught on all the rocks and tree limbs.

Ethan's Dread Pirate Roberts Ship.

Here is Charlie's large cruise liner.
The kids were so creative with their boats.
This was such a fun class project.

Gotta say I love the Dread Pirate Roberts boat. What a fun class activity. And look, a creek! I don't know the last time I saw one of those. Congrats on the win, Ethan!

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
