Friday - Black Belt Day!
Well today's the day!! Kyle will be getting his karate "black belt" (recommended) today at 5:30. We made a deal with Kyle when he started that he couldn't quit until he reached black belt (hoping, of course, that when he reached black belt he wouldn't want to quit). Will post a picture of the ceremony tomorrow. In the meantime, this is a pic of his last promotion to red belt (decided).

Tuesday - Still Talahassee
Well no hurricane but rain..lots and lots of rain. The front lawn (where I take Edgar out) is flooded but no trees came hurling through the window last night so that's good. While W worked yesterday Kyle and I went to a late breakfast and then we went to the Children's Science Museum. Your admission also paid to see this photo gallery display on the third floor of these black and white pictures (that show is there til August). I loved that! (Kyle not so much). Science floor kinda cool, hate when displays are "not working" and they seemed to have many. The coolest ones they had didn't work, like they had this booth that you put your age in, it takes your picture, then it age progresses you. So Kyle tried, it would be 10, then 30, then 50. We got all the way to the end of the process but it never showed his photos. Then I tried it and to tell you the truth I was pretty happy it didn't show mine especially when you could also add in showing the effects of smoking and sun damage. We left to come home and, of course, I got lost. We were probably 1 mile from home (on a road I didn't know of course) and I thought we were going the wrong way so I turned around and that kept us lost for yet another hour. Poor Kyle has probably spent about a week of his life being lost with me. It was okay when he was younger and didn't realize we were lost, but now I get busted every time ("You don't know where we are do you Mom?"). Last night before dinner W took us to see the University which was very cool. Their football stadium is HUGE, I think it's bigger than McMahon! The whole campus was unreal and we kept telling K if he read more he too could go there. We went out for some Mexican food which was great. Today looks like "Movie Day" (I do believe I know where the mall is with the theaters but who knows). Kyle wants to see "Cars".
I can get email now - I changed some stuff so I can access it remotely.
Will post some pics when I get home.

Oh Oh
Guess this wasn't the ideal time to travel. The hotel just slipped "Hurricane Instructions" under the door (take your blankets and pillows into the bathroom and close the door). Okay, so much for laying by the pool - it's like nighttime here!
Monday
Well Monday morning and we are waking up in Talahassee! Nice place except it looks like rain. What can we expect when we travel in a tropical depression!
Kyle went to the doctor on Saturday where we learned he had strep throat. Would have been useful if he had told me his throat hurt, maybe I wouldn't have been treating him for the flu. Oh well.. two shots to the butt and some meds he's almost as good as new. W working from 6:30 am and isn't expected back until at least 6 pm so we have to find something to do! May be difficult since I have no idea where I am. We did pass a store on the way to the hotel so many a handful of gossip magazines may be the order for the day. K has enough movies to keep him busy; however, the tv doesn't have the "stuff" to hook up his Playstation and his response to learning that was "why?" Oh Oh..on the drive here we saw something I had never seen before! You know how you see cows just grazing in a pasture? Well we passed this pasture that was all GOATS! Goats! with the floppy ears all grazing around acting like they were cows. Going to fast to get a picture but hey, I think you get the idea. Edgar has, once again, been the ideal pet. Had to sneak him in here but it's like he knows so he stays on the down-low and even does this "soft bark" when he hears someone in the hall. Like a "tester bark" ya know.. seeing if it's okay. He gets met with a big "shhhh" from all of us and he seems fine with that. Well off to um..do something! I'm away from e-mail so feel free to leave comments - we can communicate that way!
