Milner's Tower Isle of Man/Port Erin

I was trying to get a certain angle I just could not get. I was trying to get my Nana's house, and the tower, and just skim the ocean water without the sand. I need a wide lens, but I got the picture for the most part. here is some history on the tower you see on the left. I have a lot more pics on my facebook, that were 365 worthy :)

Houdini Rabbit

Rabbit Drama... So, this rabbit lives in a luxury two story children's doll house. It used to live with another rabbit in a rabbit hutch, but then it was discovered that they were not of the same sex, so they had to be separated. So now it lives in the Ritz Carlton of rabbit homes. The other day, when my Uncle went to feed it, he could not find it, and the door seemed to have been opened. He then went outside to learn a neighbors car had been vandalized, as she had left it open..so he assumed the same people opened up his shed and children's play house looking for things to steal, hence letting the rabbit out and then it ran away. It was a rough dinner conversation, that's for sure... Then the next day, while they were looking around, they found the rabbit.. It had climbed up the stairs to sleep in a baby bassinet. About four feet of stairs! So luckily the rabbit is safe, and he continues to live large in his new house!

Do not let your husband do the laundry.

This is what happens when men do laundry. There are 18 mis-matched socks here.... ;P I love my Uncle Mike.... he tries!!! I am sure the other 18 socks will appear. :)

Delicious lunch in Nottingham

Huge full liquor bar as well.. can't beat it.. Come on USA.. bring it on.. beat that. ;) http://www.peachykeens.co.uk/

Lymm Cross

This is a great memory of mine. I realized where we were when I saw this... So cool to visit England. SO much history. Read about it here, and they have a 24/7 webcam on the cross as well. Back in 2005 people destroyed it, and I believe they had the webcam back then.

Isle of Man and cold

Misty, cold and dreary....another February in Isle of Man.

Love the bathroom signs at London Gatwick Airport!

Pretty clever....

Ahhhh the airports...

I was at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport at 8 AM. First flight to Charlotte, NC. Sat there for 6 hours.. had a few drinks, some gross food, an awesome massage, a manicure...some facebook fun.. and then to the next flight to London.. Sat there for five hours.. Sat in my seat and paid for internet access to keep me semi stimulated and awake. Had some yummy candy, three energy drinks.. and the next flight is to Isle of Man, which is my final destination. 22 hours of not much to do at all. Met a couple of nice people in my travels.. had some strong drinks... but ready for some fish and chips.

Sorry not much today

Been packing for my trip to England, and going to work now.. SOOO not ready for this trip :(

Peacocks!

I took so many amazing photos today, it was hard to pick one to share. My kids wanted to go and ride an air boat, so we did just that. I got some amazing alligator, bird and sunset pics, amazing. I wish I could post them all on here! You can see all the unedited pics on my facebook! Enjoy!

It's the little things

The little things amaze the kids.. Great playground field trip, but they were all fascinated playing with the mulch! :) Not much to write, busy, busy, busy.. will blog more about it on Sunday.

Mom, look what I found!

"Mom, I found some nature and I am bringing it inside the house. It is going to live in my room and be my new pet. Can we keep it in the fish tank? Do you think it can swim?"

Going Places!

Sorry... no awesome pics for today. I had a lot going on, and was constantly in and out in the house, resulting in losing my shoes a couple of times! Aren't you jealous I can still rock the flip flops and tank tops in February? Gotta love Florida!

Day After Valentine's Day!

What an exhausting shift Valentine's Day was at the restaurant! WHEW! I really needed a day of good behavior and no excitement! The daycare kids were really well behaved and played nicely all day. I went to lunch with my friend Britney and it was a great calm after the storm the day before!!

Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Lots of money spent making sure the kids enjoyed their special day! Erianna really wanted this dog so her Dad got it for her.. I got Erianna and Austin a card, candy and some money!

Too Cool for You Mom!

I was getting ready for work and Erianna and Ice were running around the house with 3D glasses on... YIKES!

Ivan

What a great looking cat! Went to my Dad's tonight. We watched a great TV show then had an excellent dinner at an Italian place nearby. Nice calm evening...then I came home to a LOUD house. I hate when my neighbors have parties! You would think we had cardboard walls! Quiet now.. time for bed! NIGHT!

Gerber Daisies!!

Just some pretty flowers I bought at the store yesterday when I went to buy the ingredients to make home made Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Can you say delicious?!!? So good, I may never buy ice cream again!

Valentine's Day

I love this holiday! I am not such a lovey dovey person, but I really enjoy gift giving and getting creative this time of year. I was up late melting down crayons into heart and star shapes for my daughter to make into necklaces to pass out to her classmates. Over 400 crayons peeled and melted to make about 50 of the heart and star crayons. We also made our own Valentine cards too for each of the students. We made them Valentine door hangers. We got her teacher a cute "Love Bug" made by Hallmark and we put a $25 gift card and some candy in it, and made her a frame and put Erianna's picture in it. We are done. We conquered the holiday again! :)
