We went to the lake and to Serenbe, a “green” community just south of Atlanta. Vaughn loved tubing and feeding the animals at Serenbe. Here are some cute videos of him feeding the animals!
Here's to having a career you love!
I got this forward from a friend and this was so fun! Enjoy.
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one carand 3 kids each for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and take either music or dance classes.
There is no fast food.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget enough money for groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time--no emailing. Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Emergency Room.
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a school function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside, and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn themselves with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished, and eyebrows groomed
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, backaches, headaches, have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings and church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:30 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size, doctor's name, the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear, and what they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice. If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years, eventually earning the right to be called Mother! After you get done laughing, send this to as many females as you think will get a kick out of it and as many men as you think can handle it. Just don't send it back to me...I'm going to bed.
A couple weeks ago I took a trip to Boston to help my sister Meg pick out her wedding dress. My mom and I had a ball. It was 70 degrees in Boston while we were there, yahoo! Here are some pictures from our trip:
This is part of why I love what I do-a flexible schedule.Here's to finding a career you love!
Vaughn and I had a great trip to FL last week for my birthday and my dad's birthday. He played with and went on more motorized and non-motorized vehicles than he has in his whole life I think! A forklift, airplane, train, boat, back of bicycle, tricycle, car. He loves his new tricycle. Here are some of my favorite pics.
I thought I would post a fun picture of Vaughn and daddy Frank on Halloween. We went to a friend’s house for a party and then did a little trick or treating. We had a blast after we finally wrestled V into his costume!
Did you dress up this year for Halloween? I’d love to hear what you dressed up as, or what you dressed your kids up as :)
Have a great day!

Summer is here! We finally got to the pool with Vaughn! He loved it.
We also took him on his first trip to Chicago to visit his grandparents and aunt Elizabeth.
He turned 6 months old while we there. Here's a cute pic of him in his birthday hat.

I got this fun email forward this week and wanted to share:
9 WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should
be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means
she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing
here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man.
That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when
you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're
welcome.
(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to # 3.
:)
Have a great weekend!
