toast time

matt and i had a great idea last night. watch movies in our room and eat dinner at the same time! so. we lugged the tv in, set that up and went to check the kitchen for our dinner options. we had gone to sam's earlier in the day (for the pool party - it's amazing how much these kids love dr. pepper) and picked up 2 giant loaves of french bread. it is amazing - if you have a sam's membership, don't walk...run to sam's today and pick up some! and if you don't have a membership, get one! the bread is WORTH IT! haha. anyway, our favorite thing is to toast this bread and butter the toast right after. words cannot describe how good this is. so what did we do? brought the toaster into our room and plugged it in next to the bed! matt would keep the pieces coming - we set up plates, softened butter, napkins, the whole works! we toasted our way through 6 rounds of toast. sometimes it got a little hard to hear the movie over the sounds of matt jerking the tab up trying to get the toast to pop out, but it was worth it! the only gross thing (besides making toast next to your bed!) was sleeping on a few crumbs last night...oh, and the worst part! i woke up this morning to find one of our four pillows laying in the butter! we will never have 'toast time' again.

yesterday, we had a youth pool party and then played sand volleyball when i had been squirted with a water gun in the face 78 times. we had a blast with the kids. today we went to the beach after church and bobbed around in the waves for awhile - the water felt really good! not resembling a lukewarm bath like our pool...

packing up for flagler tomorrow, then we'll stay tuesday night in ocala, so i can pick up elisha bright and early wednesday morning for our trip to wilmington! can't wait!

now, to turn in my final paper for school - replacing our 'regent to do' list is a list of 14 fun things to do over the break...i'll let you know as we check them off.

oh. so far:
swim/surf at the beach. check.
go to barnes and noble to read magazines. check.
make toast from bed. (not on the list, but...check.)
