spring break...

here are some highlights of our spring break trip! we spent 10 days with my parents in tampa...i know, i know, that was weeks ago, but well, i had to kick hubby off the computer long enough to scan these in. he thought he would need the camera while i was gone....geesh!

so mapboy is not really into contact sports. oh he loves to watch them, but definitely not play....but shuffleboard is right up his alley! ha!! he was actually quite impressive and beat me fair and square! i think he played about 8 games!
here we are swimming.....mapboy had started with the noodle. when grandpa tossed him in the air, he lost the noodle, and just started swimming...that was that and we now have a swimmer! of course, princess then decided she could swim. she might still need a little more practice!

here we are heading out to catch some waves! we had a blast and apparently missed out on the dolphins playing about 20 feet behind us. everyone else saw it..but not us...the waves were too much excitement for us hoosier folk!


this was the HIGHLIGHT of mapboy's trip!! he knew we would fly over it and where it was located and couldn't wait to see it! we were able to drive pretty close to it. this is one of the first things he mentions from our trip!
one funny story...this was the first time my kids had flown. i had prepped them both and mapboy was pumped...princess...not so pumped. but we boarded and got settled. we took off and princess started screaming with glee. like we were on a roller coaster or something. as i'm covering her mouth i notice mapboy in a death grip with the arm rests. i tell him we are just fine and he shouts, "i know, i'm just trying to not throw up!" great! didn't plan on that...
thankfully, he didn't and after several bags of pretzels, chips, and peanuts we landed safely and smoothly in tampa!! i love those kids!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
