Electro Magnet

Mason went to a Mr Science class today where the theme was electricity and magnets and the kids were sent home with a AAA battery and a nail wrapped with wire. Didn't take long to drain that AAA and the next time I looked the boy had filched a C from somewhere? Looked up again and a light switch was attached...OK, science is making me nervous now that items are disappearing from walls and remotes.

Happy New Years Eve!

And no better way to spend it than at the beach, especially since Santa left a surfboard under the tree!

Boys and their toys

War of the RC helicopters!

Alex, I'll take 'What Is Pearl Harbor Day' for $1000

Answer...Mason's birthday!

Best place to spend your last single digit b-day? Why the happiest place on earth, Magic Kingdom!
Now about that last single digit b-day...How can I explain being so happy and proud of each step you make towards independence and then eventually adulthood, while simultaneously being so incredibly sad about my baby growing up?

Armadillos and their foot fetishes...

This little guy loved my toes! Didn't take it personal though, according to the zoo keeper at Brevard Zoo, their armadillos like to lick toes. Ok, but it freaked me out, I didn't like it at all!

Yes, that is a Puffer Fish.

Good for your fish tank, but not for your dinner table...It was however the only thing we were getting from the Indian River, one puffer fish after another.

Bones!

Tonight was the final performance of Bones, a Kids Klub production that told the story of the prophet Ezekiel and his vision of the Valley of Dry Bones.

Mason played one of the Israelites, Rabbi Levi, what can I say, proud stage momma that I am, he was wonderful in his role!

No pic's due to the lack of lighting but for Ezekiel's 3rd vision, several of the kids wore black outfits that were embellished with white skeletons, the rest of the kids wore white gloves, all the lights went off and all the black lights went on and it was the most amazing choreographed scene, this really was a cool play!
