Parker is Five!

Image
What does a 5-year-old Parker love?  Trains, planes, and cars, of course! And of course his newest love is space. Anything space. Space shuttles, astronauts, stars, planets, space books,  space movies, space stickers, space magazines....  he soaks it all up and has so many questions about how everything works.  He wants to combine his love of space and his love of construction equipment to become.... an astronaut construction worker!  Maybe he'll build something on Mars one day.  What else does my little buddy love? Laser tag! So for his birthday he invited his JK class (and siblings) to join him for pizza and laser tag. They had such a good time, and he earned his favorite nickname - FireBlast! Happy Birthday Parker!

Escape to Florida

It's cold in Virginia, so we ditched the kids for the long holiday weekend and headed to Fort Lauderdale with some friends! Chris and Maggie have talked about getting us down there for years and we finally got the chance to go. The guys did some deep sea fishing, we beached and pooled, we watched the cruise ships go in and out, and we rented a boat one day to wander around and soak up the sun. How often do you get to see a submarine going in? Mermaid show before dinner. Special thanks to Maggie's mom for letting us take over her place for the weekend, and to my parents for watching the kids while we escaped to the beach!
