A week of firsts

Last Thursday L started her new ballet/tap class. She had a blast. There were a couple girls there that are also in her class at school so it is nice for her and really shows what a small town we live in now!

LEAPIN LIZARDS!!!!

So, lizards are about as common here as ants (which are taking over my bathroom, but that is another story)!! At first I was completely freaked out and scared of them. I've gotten used to their presence. However, not in my house. Luckily, L is not afraid of them at all, so she is in charge of the catch and release of the lizards found indoors.

We rented a boat for the day this weekend. It was a blast! We discovered an island where people beach their boats and hang out, swim, and drink. It was a lot of fun, but not sure it is a place we will be going every weekend. I would compare it to a slightly classier, tamer version of Canal Days. We heard rumors of a boat with a stripper poll on it, but were not lucky enough to see it. Mike nicknamed the spot the Redneck Riviera. Surely a spot to take our friends when they visit.

I was a little unsure of taking the kids on a boat. S is not exactly laid back. He was completely pissed when it came time to wear his life vest.

But, once her got ahold of some food, he calmed down a bit. He made sure to periodically remind me that he was NOT happy about the situation!

Once we got to the island, the kids had a blast swimming and playing in the sand. They both fell asleep on the boat ride home and it was a successful day topped off by red wine and steaks on the grill.

"Please help me, Sis!"

Always a happy girl!

Captain M!

S started walking small distances this weekend. He can take about 5-10 steps before falling. Unfortunately I can't get it on camera! I'll work on that!

And lastly, today was L's first day at the Island Montessori Academy. She loved it! At first she came home and told us that all the kids were mean and told her she will not have any friends and that they were hitting her. Then she told us she was just kidding and that she had a great day, haha. The wonderful mom that I am forgot to take 1st day of school pics! In my defense, she has to be there at 7:45, we didn't get out of bad until after 7 and it was pouring rain out! I'll take 2nd day of school pics instead:)

Until next time.......missing all of my Delaware peeps!!!!
