This and that

     Well I know it's been a few weeks since I've blogged. There hasn't been too much exciting stuff happening. As far as an update on the TKD team that the boys tried out for. Well, they both made it. Although Bry wants to do it and Dev does not. Dev does not like the sparring part ( me either!! ) so I can't blame him. I haven't had a chance to talk to the Master yet. I am waiting to find out the soccer practice schedule before we sign Bry up for the team. I want to make sure that he will be available the nights that are scheduled for the team practice. I know he can't make it to Wed night class already since he has Church class until the end of May preparing for his 1st Communion. We should find out the soccer schedule in the next few weeks. I also want to talk to him about Dev's hesitation. I do know he hasn't had much training in sparring so it definitely made it more intimidating that night of try outs. Maybe he can do a trial time or something. I'm not sure, we will see in the next few weeks.

     Well we picked out our tile for the kitchen back splash.   Hmmm...I was very excited and got the whole pattern figured out including room for the outlets and everything. Now...it's time for the hard work...eekk!! Kinda dreading this part! I think I will finish getting the supplies this week and maybe start working on it this weekend. I'm excited about the outcome, just not excited about the doing part...ha ha..
   

I am so excited!! Me and my girlfriends signed up for the Tower of Terror 10 mile race in Disney in October!! yay!! These are the same girls that ran the Disney Princess 1/2 marathon with me and also went on my 40th NYC trip!! The race is at night and has an after party included after the race! We were thinking about signing up and then after reading several forums we decided we better sign up if we are thinking about it before it fills up! Well it has only been 1 week since registration opened and the race is 50% full! I am so glad we went ahead and registered! It's going to be so much fun. I'm trying to decide on some themed outfits for us to wear too! I can't wait!!

We took a nice drive this weekend down to Marco Island. It is south of Naples and about 45 minutes or so from us. I think it is the southern most part of Florida on the Gulf side that you can drive to. Wow...it was beautiful!! I felt like we were on vacation somewhere...oh wait...we are everyday now....we live in Florida!! yay!! Seriously...we found a quaint little beach with an intercoastal water area. There were a lot of people just relaxing and we saw some cool birds up close! Then we walked down the beach to the Gulf access...wow...it was a fabulous day. We weren't prepared to be at the beach, no bathing suits, chairs, sunscreen or sand digging toys for the boys but we still had a nice time. I love seeing the waves crash on the beach and the smell of the salt water!! I wanted to just stay there all day!! The boys dug around in the sand and collected a few shells. It was a gorgeous day! 

We will go back for sure and we will be beach prepared for sure!! We have closer beaches near us but this was so quaint and quiet....I loved it!

Well that's all I have for now. Toodles.
