The Scoop on Saturday!

Saturday has come and gone far too quickly! I can gladly say that we spent it busily and with much laughter! An early run with cross country had us up and out of bed far too early, but good for getting a jump on the day.
4H projects were looked over and goals were set, after a quick Starbucks stop of course! 3 kids with 2 projects each, means very busy children on top of all their activities!
Our oldest has a deep seeded desire to work for the government, the NSA to be exact. She hopes that she can form the perfect cover by being a fashion designeer, so of course she has chosen textiles for one of her 4H projects. With this project, she now finagled the purchase of a sewing machine, that she has been asking for for quite awhile. We walked in just to look at machines and of course ended up with one! We made her take it out of the box and hold it in front of the store, needless to say we are the type of parents that drive children crazy! 
After our princess took off for a sleepover with friends, it was a day of mom and all boys! They were eager to spend time with mom and dad and do several fun things throughout the day as well.
Lunch time took us to a new restaurant that had delightful food and great service! The boys loved having us all to themselves and had plenty to talk about as well.
BOWLING! I did terribly as always, but we all had so much fun that we made it through 3 games before we were ready to head out. It was a league day, which the boys loved watching and cheering them on.
We still had some time before our next appointment, so we stopped at Michael's and found this AWESOME castle, perfect for their peg dolls collection. We are thinking it would be a fun project to paint it first, but not sure yet. I love the Waldorf style of natural wood, but they love the thought of being able to go crazy with paints!
They also had these phenomenal journals! I couldn't decide which I wanted and regret not seeing them at the beginning of the year. The travel one would be awesome for documenting all of our weekend getaways and longer!
Next, it was time for Laser QUEST! This place was beyond insane in volume and price but it was so much fun. How on earth have we lived in this city 10 years and only been here twice, it's definitely time to put this one back in rotation!
Enjoy every minute my friends, we certainly are!

Car: Our VERRRRRY old minivan was our transport across the country and to places in between!
Disney: We spent an amazing 14 days in Disney that could not have been any more magical.
Escape: Our family needed to get away from it all and just connect with one another.

Florida: Our favorite go-to spot never let us down!
Georgia: The LONGEST state to drive through when you just want to get to Florida!!!
Homeschool: Yes, my children still did work on the drive to & from Florida & some while in Disney!
International: The International Food & Wine Festival in Epcot ~ the food & drinks were delicious!!
Jealous: As we left Disney World at 2am, I was jealous of everyone pulling in and just starting...
A chip holder is perfect for holding playing cards in little hands! The car ride was electronics free!

Kentucky: The cheapest gas came from here and some of the friendliest people!!
Love: I loved taking my kids to the spot we were married and showing them where it all began.
Moms: I met so many mothers at our co-op field trips, it's great to make new friends.

Redo: Can we do it all over again! I would change so much and then again nothing at all!

St. Augstine: The most beautiful coastal town EVER! We fell in LOVE!
Ten: It was our 10 year anniversary in September & that was what we celebrated on vacation!
Universal Studios: Harry Potter was great, but the lines were so long, we did not get to do much else.
Volunteer: Our year of volunteering came to a close and it left me feeling confused...more to come.

Wisconsin: We just biked 14 miles in Wisconsin with a 7,8 & 9 year old! They were awesome!
eXhausted: The past month has been a whirlwind and I feel like I need down time...but when?!
Year: 1 year until we return to Disney World with our kids! We booked before we left!!
Zoo: We trick-or-treated at the zoo this past weekend and had so much fun counting Elsa's!
Enjoy every single minute my friends, it goes by in a flash...
