Beach Quotes

I AM READY FOR A VACATION!!!!

With only 10 days and some change left until my escape from reality, I have found myself with severe SPRING FEVER!! Especially with days like today...Sunny & 79, which BTW is 6 degrees warmer than in Key West at this very moment! i found myself ditching my very healthy & low calorie tuna pesto wrap in favor of finding some place around here with a patio so I could soak up some SUN!

I seem to be distracted by beach photos and anything Jimmy Buffett-esque at this moment. So I have found a few of my favorite (what I like to call) "Beach Quotes". These are the quotes for those days where you wish you were anywhere but here! Please feel free to contribute to my list!

"I'm in touch with my insanity...really is the only way"

"If we couldn't laugh, we'd all go insane"

"The weather is here, wish you were beautiful"

"I'm at the Port of Indecision, Southeast of Disorder..."

"I wish lunch could last forever"

"Take another road, to a hiding place. Disappear without a trace."

"I see reality in my rearview mirror"

"It is a tangible dream."

"It's 5 o'clock somewhere..." (thanks Tammy!)

FINZ UP!

Marvelous Mavericks!

Karsten & Nicole were selected (at different times) to be Marvelous Mavericks at their school. This is where they get recognized by their teachers. Nicole's was for "Reading Achievement" and Karsten's was for "always doing his best and helping others". I am so proud of both of them!!!

Mother-Sons Sweetheart Dance

This year I took the boys to the Mother-Sons Sweetheart Dance. We had a REALLY good time! Most of the music they played was very easy to dance to. They had a Rock Band contest and several dance contests. They played alot of 80's music (for us Mom's...I suppose!) and we just had a blast!! Probably the first dance ever that I have been to where EVERYONE was dancing!!

My sweet boys!

Lookin' good all dressed up...
But dressed up or not, you still have to take time to be silly!

Probably the best part of the dance was when we were waiting in line for photos. Karsten started dancing, Kailer joined in and the other mom's and I just watched and tried not to roll on the floor laughing!!! I'm trying to figure out how to post the video, so if you don't see it...be patient!!! :)
