Things I have not posted.. The make up post. (Plus Hog Roast)

This weekend, Melinda and her friend Hannah set up a lemonade stand.. They pulled in 12 bucks. Not bad, but they have done better.

So here is a series of pictures from the Hog Roast at Chris and Pegs house this weekend! Wow, what a party. Although, we must be getting old.. there was still Beer in the Keg at the end of the night..

Chris made a haywagon just for the party. It was fun! Part of the path was int he neighbors yard, somwhere I have never gone before.

And the obligatory picture of all the siblings.. I’d say we are looking pretty good for our ages.

And Here is Rockwell playing with a bunch of his cousins (once removed -lol) They had a BLAST. This is one of those events they will all remember.

A Nannyrama for you. Pretty much the whole shebang.

Rockwell messing around with the liver that came with the pig. What a joker.

Rockwell checking out how they attach the pig to the spit.

The kids had a load of fun on this dinosour. It used to have three springs and it was hard to move, even for an adult. Take one of the springs off, and BAM, its a dangerous fun machine. Only small amounts of blood where shed.. No worries.

Rockwell riding Chris’s “irish Mail”. Its hard to figure out at first! Steering with your feet and “pedaling” with your hands! Rockwell mastered it before the weekend was over.

When I dropped off Hannah for the LUA Mincraft summer camp, we passed a guy that really goes all out in decorating the shrubs in his yard. He even got all his neighbors to do it.

And, from 2012 School Year (!) I finally have seen the actual Trophies Hannah won in the math counts competition in the virgin Islands.

And finally.. Hannah and I love eating fat. 🙂 This is a frustrating thing, because society does not, therefore does not supply it. Here is an example.. The first picture is the yogur isle at Wallmart. Look at the huge selection! (It goes down to where Hannah is standing. ) It’s HUGE. Do you think they had any flavored full fat yougurt? Not a single damn one. Not even one! WTF?

Here is the most yummy yogurt on the planet, mix this with cereal and you are in heaven. Hard to find. Its the ONLY full fat flavored yogurt we have found. It’s just not right. You are missing out if you dont lick the fat off the tinfoil when you take it off.. I have to assume its like joy people used to have drinking the cream off the top of the milk bottle.

OK< One more pic.. Here are some of our favorite teachers at North Augusta Elem. Making Cotton candy this spring at their fun fair.

Hannah and mathcounts

Update 2: A picture. With that perfect ambivalent 13 year old’s expression!

 

UPDATE: She came in 6th place in the whole state! I’m so proud of her. Way to Go H.

(Where is mom so I can tell her….)

So, Hannah is at the mathcounts state contest as we speak.. She just made it into the final round! GO Hannah!

Still not done.

Hey, I can’t ignore this stuff. If it sound a little outrageous, trust me, it does to me too.

Hannah just competed in the VI Mathcounts competition, and came in 6th place out of 100 students!

Way to go HannaH!

Either out of all the students (public and private) on St Croix, or all the students in the VI,  I need to find that out. Either way, it was quite a feat! Here is an interesting thing.. Her friend from the apartment complex she lives at came in first place. I’m glad she has smart people to “hang” with…

In other interesting news: I mentioned Hannah has a “reef Ecology” class before… They just got their itinerary for next week.

Get this. Her next outing is a nighttime bioluminescence study on kayaks.

What is this kid going to do in high school, thats what I want to know.
