Working Hard or Hardly Working

We went down to the Potomac Rvr. after our swim at the pool in the hotel...there were treasures everywhere....shells, rocks, wood.....

Here's A and I modelling the wind swept look. E and Grnny looking for rocks.

Action shots of the search for cool stuff. E playing in the sand of the volleyball courts.

Oh ya we did some house hunting stuff too.

Pics

We had a good flight. I am still surprised that it took us over six hours to go from the house to the hotel when the flight was only 1.5 hours. The kids had a grand time at the airport.....except the part where they stood in line for a half an hour to get through the airport line and then an hour to get through the security line and then a half an hour to get through the customs line and then 45 minutes to get the rental van. Other than that though they thought it was great fun.

We have had some time to look around and have been trying to get a feel for where we'd like to be. Tomorrow we are going to the embassy and then around with our agent so we're looking forward to that.

The boys at the airport------------------------A on the bus changing terminals---------

This is a park that is near one of the houses we are looking at.
While A and mommy and daddy were napping this afternoon, Grnny took E down to the river and they found these treasures.

We're Here

Hi Everybody. We're here. We're looking. We're trying to decide. I have photos but the camera is in the van. I will post photos later.

Somebody's Ready

A is packed and ready to go!!!!


We are so fortunate to be going on this trip with our house sold and no worries here at home to take with us.

E worked on this set-up for quite a while this afternoon and wanted me to add it to the blog and show EVERYBODY. So.....compliments of E----enjoy.

Off the Bus and Straight to the Park

Well it's not exactly warm here but we're still outside. Off the bus and straight to the park.

A was Sprmn today--note the cape--

And I finished E's red shorts this morning. I think they turned out the best of all the shorts.

Tired (Out) Much?

We all went to bed last night for a family cuddle at 7:30 and woke up this morning feel very refreshed. Apparently we needed 11 hours of sleep.

Here are some pics of the kids before their haircuts/trims and also a pic of them after their haircuts/trims.

E worked on this video this a.m. and wants to share it with everyone.

When Did This Become Normal

So I stood in line today with the kids for an hour and a half so E could get a free Wbknz. I'm not sure when exactly something that ridiculous started seeming like normal behaviour. But I have it on good authority(my mother-in-law) that I'm not the first parent to go to such lengths. Anyway, now we have 5 Wbknz in our puppy collection. (Dalmation doggy, Spot, (the other) Spot, Pinky and Popper Spaniel.


Just two cute pics of A. One of him having fallen asleep in the bike trailer after a ride and the other of him helping Grndd fix the front patio.

I took the monsters to the park today. A loved the swing but only Grnny could push him.

E loved the swings too but in his own way. Here's everybody after snack.

Hum Drum

Pics of the grown-ups......Here is M getting his lures and stuff ready for his fishing trip. And here is me making E's new shorts.

And the shorts themselves.....made to order.....I have no idea why he wanted green and red but that's what he wanted. He actually wanted one leg of each colour but I made them like this instead....hopefully he's happy with them. The other pic is of the long shorts I made the boys so they would look like 101Dalmtn puppies.

My Zsa Zsa

I think I may have been a bit too enthusiastic about picture taking since the weather improved. Today I was trying to get a pic of A in his Diego outfit that GrandmaD bought him and he was not interested in having his pic taken. With A......when he says no.....he means NO!!!

P.S. Please note that the reason I don't have a lot of pics of E lately is because he is always off running around with his friends just out of range. He's such an independent little thing lately. I am going to need to get a telescopic lens for my camera to catch a photo of that kid.

Happy Back to Work Day

I think A looks how most people probably feel about going to work when the weather is nice and they have to go to work. Check out M eating our first BBQ'd meal of the year. Yummy!!!--Can I just say how much he loved posing for this shot-teehee

On Friday we went and fed the ducks down at the river. These were the only two we found! E came down to feed the ducks too but was still recovering from his stomach bug and he looks a little pale and thin in this photo.

And we have also made our first sand castles of the year. E made the one on the left and A proudly made the one on the right.

Spring is in the Air

Just another pic of A being adorable......

This morning while I made breakfast E was working diligently on colouring a picture. He was quite proud to show off his final product. He did a great job of colouring the deer and writing his name and the name of one of his friends on our street. He put a 'B' under the boy deer and a 'G' under the girl deer. And suspiciously there are two hearts in the air by their names........As soon as he finished he ran it across the street to our neighbour.

Monday A.M. or All About A

I'm not really sure what this was all about but A wanted me to take his pic while he did this little routine.
A got this from BigK and he LOVES it.

This morning before school we had a chance to play Dor.aCndyLand and also TumblngTowers. The kids love to play games.

A has decided he is Sprmn and runs around whooshing and flying---here's a little sample.
