Linking Up

Happy Sunday Friends,
I have been MIA lately.  Last Sunday we had our family leave. We've had visitors since February 15th! While I'm glad to get back to my regular schedule with just the hubby and my son, I do miss my family already!  Needless to say, time with family has kept me from getting on the computer at night.

So, I'm getting back into the swing of things by joining up with a Linky Party. I love Latoya from Flying Into First and am excited to join up with her.

This weeks topic is "Stranded on an Island-What three things would you have to have with you?"

1. Definitely have to go with the husband and kiddo- they provide my entertainment on a daily basis.
2. My IPod- what better way to pass the time than with some good tunes. Rolling Stones would top my playlist- plus I can use it to tune out the hubby and son when they start wining at me- LOL!
3. Pillow/Blanket- If I'm stranded, I might as well be comfortable. I do love me some sleep!!!

How much fun is Latoya- hop on over and get acquainted with some other bloggers.

One of the things I did on my weeks away from blogging was spending a week at the beach with my parents and my sister and her family. Our children had a blast and we made some good memories. My little niece Ryan is going through a tough time right now, so I was looking through some of the pics from our trip to bring a smile to my face. I'm awful at baking, but Ryan loves it and Frankie (my son- green shirt) and Cooper love to cupcakes, so we attempted to make cupcake ice cream cones. I will leave you with some pics to enjoy- the kids sure enjoyed it.

On the school front, one more  week left until FCAT testing- how are you preparing your kids for state assessments?
