Hi

I'm still alive, I have neglected my poor lonely blog, sorry. I didn't even finish up chatting about our vacation...I will soon.
I'm trying to get things in order for my three sons to start school, sniff sniff. I'm suffering a bad case of premature empty nest syndrome. Dylan and Jack will be all day this year and Grant will go two mornings a week. What will I do with my 5 free hours a week??? I am really having a hard time and trying to hold onto them a little longer these last days of summer. Don't get me wrong, they are fighting like cats and dogs but for some reason I guess I'd rather have them here and fighting than gone and the quiet. Lord, help me when college arrives!
So until the plastic folders (with and without fasteners and/or with or without pockets) are bought, new school shoes are shined up, lunch boxes are filled, and school forms are filled out, I may be a little scarce.
Have a great day!

Three new what?

Sandcastle building,





kite flying,





swimming,






and crabs.....











that's right, the boys got crabs, hermit crabs that is :-) (Matt and I are having some great laughs about the 'crabs' . I know it is way inappropriate, but you gotta admit, it's still pretty funny.)

Good Morning

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Gators!

An alligator has taken up residence in the little pond in front of our place, I mean like 10 steps out the front door and BAM there he is! Last night Matt took the garbage out to the dumpster and Jack was worried when he didn't return as fast as he thought he should have. He said to me, very worried, "mom, you don't suppose Dad's been killed out there do you?" The good news is he made it home, the bad news is they had to kill a 14 foot alligator at our plantation today, WHAT THE CUSS?!!?!!

South Carolina sure is hot, mom!

Yes, it's hot. Matt heard a lady say that today was the hottest day ever recorded for Hilton Head. And to think, we got to witness it :-).
We are having a really good time despite the heat. We have to start out early and hang out indoors during the 110 degree part of the day and then go out again in the evening. Today we had a late breakfast, visited a park to find a treasure and found some awesome shells while there, headed home and hung out until after dinner, took a bike ride to the beach to play in the tidal pools, and finally Matt took the big boys to the pool while Grant and I stayed at our "bacation home" and had some ice cream. Here are some random pictures from the last few days.
