Sacrifices....

I think this island living is getting to the boy. Today while we were playing Lego's, some of the men got banished to planet Pluto where immediately a human sacrifice was laid. To make the whole thing a little more disturbing, the limbs and head were separated from the body ...

I'm not sure if Pluto was happy with the sacrifice, but I believe Madam Pele may be looking down on us with some favor (which will translate into continuing eruptions that stay on the east side)!
So all in all a super fantastic, lovin' the island, day!

A little help from your friends...

So all in all a super fantastic, helping hands, day!

KaBoom....

Mom and I went down big hills and big up hills on our bikes and when we got to the gas station, we went to the store which was next to it. Then, when we were done, we bought candy, and then my tire popped when we were at the gas station, because my mom filled the tire too full up, then, ka-pow! It blew up!

Hope you enjoyed reading Buddy's rendition of the events that happened today, thankfully he included the important parts, like the buying candy. Buddy wasn't too upset that I blew up (literally) his tire, but then again it's hard to be upset when you have a new job as a boat head model...

So all in all a super fantastic, expanding, day!

Day #2

So the other day I tried to come up with a a list of things to do for summer vacation. Did you know if you look on-line that people actually have lists of things to do, let me rephrase it, stupid things to do, like you never play with your kids or have any imagination. I needed help, not a list of... draw with chalk, play a board game, read a book, Lamersville. Since Buddy and I do not hail from the land of Lamersville, we made a list that included installing a zip line. We have quite the jungle in our backyard, a jungle that includes a 110 ft straight shot between two very large trees. Buddy and I are quite excited, now to talk Shane into the excitement, seeing how he will be financing and installing our marvelous idea. So in the meantime we decided to put up an obstacle course and have a Nerf Shooting competition (embarrassingly Buddy won both), complete with a side of good old hide and go shoot!



So all in all a super fantastic, anxiously awaiting a zip line, day!

Ready....set...campout?

So tonight I am doing my blog from the comforts of my tent, well my tent on my lanai. I made a list of things to do this summer and it appears that someone is trying to squeeze it all in on the first day! So here I sit in our tent, hoping that a wild turkey doesn't come along and try to peck at us through the night (hey, it could happen they hang out in my driveway all the time, although I don't know if they're good at climbing stairs). We're just enjoying the peace and quiet, pretending we're away from the modern world, while I'm on my laptop and Buddy is on the iPhone, yep we're rustic that way!

Anyway, Buddy's last day of school was yesterday, they had a fun run to commemerate the occasion, or possibly make the kids all have heat stroke, one of those two although I'm not sure which. Here are some pics of my boy.That's right he's the professional runner on the end...

This is right after he ran through the sprinkler (the other kids were avoiding it, Buddy is a thinker, a cool thinker that is!)

Here he is enjoying the limelight of his newfound running fame...

So all in all a super fantastic, first day of summer, day!

NO MORE TEACHER'S DIRTY LOOKS...

Guess whose last day of school is tomorrow, well I guess that was a no-brainer! To prepare for his next to last day, Buddy threw together a fitting ensemble, well, fitting if you're setting sail on the seven seas...

Today I was greeted by his teacher anxious to talk to me about my options for homeschooling....ummm...what? Buddy gave his teacher quite a credible story that next year I'll be keeping him home, poor boy was quite convincing. Obviously he just doesn't quite get it that his personality craves to be surround by lots and lots and lots of giggly boys and girls, not a boring mom that has been noted to make her trains talk "boring" lately. So for now, we are more than excited to begin our Super Fantastic Summer Extravaganza, not that we have any plans! I'm thinking the ocean may possibly be involved? What a concept and slightly unheard of for us!
So all in all a super fantastic, one more day, day!

The Beeder Beater, or is it the Beater Beeder?

So today after school Buddy and I attempted to make cookies for his last day of school on Thursday. Since I have assumed my role as a domestic goddess I have seriously amped up my grilling skills (I'm awesome, just ask me), but my baking skills need some serious help. Maybe I should just blame my ingredients, I mean they were fresh, but really...

(That would be my boy pretending to poop out the butter)
Who raised this kid, next thing you know he'll be using his penis as a gun, oh wait, yep already done that (just 10 minutes ago even). In other news, we took a break from the bike riding due to some serious wind around these parts (my bottom would like to thank mother nature from the bottom of...my bottom), so today we read some fantastic Horrid Henry tales, Buddy giggled and giggled. Who knew that a boy would like a book about stink bombs and a boy accidentally being stuck in a pair of girly pink/sparkly underwear. This is my shout out to Tony Ross the creator of the Horrid Henry series...you are a genius! After our book fest I showed Buddy how my brothers and I fought with our fancy space guns. That would be our fancy space guns that are invisibly implanted in our armpits but when our armpits are raised they make a "ping ping" sound. Yep, my family was fancy with our technology, we were the envy of the neighborhood. I do believe the day was a success, well, other than the cookies!
So all in all a super fantastic, being a boy, day!
