Oh it would be Wednesday!

And today I'm going to be full of words.
January 6, 2009 - The annual Epiphany Celebration in Tarpon Springs
If you don't know about it (which probably you don't) boys, ages 16-18 are to write essays on what the Epiphany means to them and their faith. They are then chosen (or not) to dive for a wooden cross. Each year the cross is hand made, blessed by the Archbishop and the dive commences.
**I know I'm missing a whole part of what this is all about but wouldn't you know when I try and find something on it, I can't find it? But that's about the gist of it. Oh and the whole city shuts down LOL**

I've been down here 25+ years and have never once gone to a dive. Usually it's too cold, the boys dive into Spring Bayou which is a constant 72* but when the outter temp is in the 40-50's, that just screams too cold for me. Today it was gorgeous. These boys couldn't of asked for better weather. 78-79*, very slight breeze and a warm sun.

I share with you a few photos from Epiphany 2009

It was such a cool tradition to go and watch. I know this has been over 100 years of traditions but I can't find the article that gives the exact year. If you want to see my full set of pictures...you can catch them on our Flickr

Wordless Wednesday

The teen is finally getting the idea that it is extremely hard to cook, clean or just do about anything with a toddler hanging off your leg. Last night was no exception. Teen was watching his "car" videos and let the toddler sit on his lap.
Priceless.

A little "in motion". Headed to The Round Up to get shots of a bunch of grown men (and women) playing dodgeball. I will have to say that it's quite funny.

My oldest has always had a learning problem. It was called the Idon'twanttopayattentionthereistoomuchotherstuffbetterthanschool. Got that? Yeah, well this is his senior year. He's really got to push himself, apply himself, in other words, GET HIS CRAP TOGETHER senior year.

He's been doing great! I am so proud of him.

Now if he would of just started this in the ninth grade, he would have an easy senior year instead of pushing himself so hard.

I will be having a graduation party in June even if I have to hire some kid for the graduate.

For Wordless Wednesday I share with you my ta-ta's, my rack. Why am I doing this? Because we are closing in on the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.



I may have mentioned it, but this month, Rachel @ A Southern Fairytale is donating her ad revenue to Breast Cancer Research AND to top that all of, she's got a giveaway going on until Friday. So after you leave me a comment about how beautiful my bewbs are (lmao yeah, right), you need to head over to Rachel's and enter the giveaway. Oh and did I mention FREE??

For more Wordlessness, you can head over to Wordless Wednesday or 5 Minutes for Mom? Still trying to figure out how and when we get those 5 minutes.
