3rd Shift

The only nice thing about Nathan working 3rd shift is that I get the whole bed to myself for a week. Miracle on the other hand likes that Nathan is home sleeping during the day.

Cheating is Fun

Last month we went to a Renaissance Faire in Wake Forest. We took the children and some friends from church. The kids enjoyed seeing the jousting and the acrobats on horses. I of course had a blast because I love ren faires.
AJ decided he wanted to battle Nathan. It was $2 to fight for 3 rounds. And for $1 the knights would cheat on your behalf.
So, I cheated for AJ. I didn't get a picture of Nathan getting thrown off from behind because I was laughing to hard. This picture was taken right before the guy on the left knocked Nathan off of his little wobble board. Needless to say AJ won.

A Bit Chilly!

and totally his own fault.

Cause My Husband is Scared of Turtle Claws

Last night I was going to run out to W*l-M*rt to get a roller to finish this project which has been hanging over my head. As I was getting ready to turn off of our street I saw a nice sized turtle in the middle of the road. Nathan was in the yard so I parked the car right there at the stop sign and jumped out. I called Nathan and the kids over to see the turtle.
We took a couple of pictures and then I suggested Nathan take it back down by the creek that is a ways behind our house. He laughed at the idea of picking it up. I told him to just grab it and carry it. Nathan was intimidated by the large claws on all four legs. Here is his solution.
That turtle, we discovered, could move quite fast when it felt threatened. I was laughing really hard at him trying to pick it up with softball gloves.
We carried it back into the field near a ravine with water so hopefully he will be okay.

Umm excuse me???

WHO ordered this gross display?
Why on earth did they order it?
What can I do to make it go away? and soon. I'm contemplating taking a hair dryer to it. Yuck.
I like this veiw much better.
