Baby Will is Driving :)
Yes, my baby boy is 15 as of Monday, and we got his learner's permit. He has been waiting for this day since he was about 4 years old. I couldn't make him wait any longer, so I took him driving the same place I took his older brother and sister when they started. We live on the edge of the city and it's not very far to go to find more secluded, country-road driving.
The weather was beautiful.
After we drove a few miles, we stopped at Buddy Boy's for some refreshment (and photo ops!)
We continued on our merry way and talked about things you need to know when driving in traffic. We came upon this road sign and I had to laugh, it reminded me of PeeWee's Big Adventure :)
We happened upon a small park by the St Johns and of course we had to stop for the beginnings of a gorgeous sunset.
All in all, he did a great job driving for the first time. To be honest, he pretty much took to it like a fish in water. Considering how long he's been dreaming of it, I wasn't really surprised :)
Happy Birthday, you'll always be "Baby Will" to me :)

Resistance is Futile
I have been assimilated. I have fought for as long as I could, but today, I finally caved and bought...yes...CROCS!!!
What could I do??? I had a reward coupon for $10.00 for Hallmark, and it was about to expire! The kids Crocs were buy 1, get 1 half off! They were there, right in front of me...what could I do? 
Snips and Snails and Puppy-dog Tails
I love little boys :)

Joyous Jumpers?
Why do mullet jump? There are a few different theories. This is from the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute:
"Why do mullet jump?
No one has been able to ask a mullet why it jumps. In waters with low dissolved oxygen, mullet may jump more frequently, which might indicate a greater need for oxygen. Some biologists feel that jumping aides mullet in removing parasites; others believe it may be part of schooling behavior in mullet. An intriguing notion is that maybe they just like to jump."
I was at County Dock for sunset last night. The mullet were going crazy. One after another, sometimes in pairs, sometimes you would see three at a time jumping. I would try to snap one and I would hear two more splashes on the other side of the dock! They are all interesting theories, but I prefer to believe they are leaping just for the joy of it. :)

Murder at 2412
It was a dark and stormy night. Oops! Wrong story. It was actually a night like any other...until...
It was an act of extreme violence. The assailant obviously knew the victim...
Poor little thing, she had so much to live for. She really didn't deserve it to end this way...
Dr. M, Medical Examiner, looks over what was obviously the fatal wound.
We didn't have to look far to find him. They're all alike ~ it only takes one taste of stuffing and they're hooked. It usually starts with something as innocent as a beanie-baby. One eyeball here, a tag ripped out there...until they open that first seam. Then it's all over. Before you know it they've moved on to Gund and then they're hanging around outside the local Build-a-bear, looking for fresh stuffing. Here's the perp, chewing on a rawhide, seemingly oblivious to the carnage just mere feet away...
They always return to the scene of the crime. Always.
It's 8:25pm...do you know where YOUR stuffies are??
;oP

Chef Boy-R-J
We went to a local italian place for Sunday dinner yesterday. We placed the order for RJ ~ a personal pizza. Little did we know that he would get to make it himself! It was very cool, they brought the dough out to the table and let him smoosh it down...
Then when the oven was ready, we went back into the kitchen where the head pizza guy tossed the dough and prepared it, and then put pizza sauce on it.
Then it was RJ's turn again, he got to put his own toppings on and spread them around. He got a kick out of it (and so did we!)
And Voila! RJ's first pizza :)
He was very proud of himself. Not many 3 year olds can cook their own dinner...LOL

B is for Bird's Nest
We were parked in front of Sissy's work, waiting for her to get off when RJ suddenly screeched "MOMMY!! BIRDY NEST!!". He had spotted it in the "B" of "bakery on the front of the store.
Good eye! :) I guess these birds can spell.
