Earl

Mother Nature is amazing. The colors and wonders are incredible. This is one of the Blue crabs our "buddy" Willie was catching at our favorite park. We went for another after dinner stroll at Lock Park, bringing our friend Marella along. Elliot is going through the stranger danger/ anxiety stage and as soon as Marella got in the car he started screaming and crying. It lasted the entire 15 minute drive. It was a beautiful evening, making it hard to believe that Mother Nature has a big storm brewing. We are under a hurricane warning right now, into Friday afternoon. Hurricane Earl has evacuated the OBX, and is threatening us but I'm not sure as to how much. I don't want to freak out, but I want to be prepared.
In an effort to copy my dear Sissy, I am jumping on the band wagon of getting more pictures of me with the kids (and hubby too). I always take the pics, but having a friend with us, she was able to snap a few just before my battery was totally drained. I have no make up on, my hair is in it's fancy do of a pony tail. Who cares, I am happy and with my family! We finished the night off by introducing Marella to our favorite Skinny Dip- self serve frozen yogurt. The kids went to bed 2 hrs late but it was one night so I am not going to stress. I am just so not used to being out after dark, the kids either. Gabby kept commenting that it was DARK out while we were in the car... hmmm maybe we should be out later more often!
