Our Big Catch!

Oldest and I caught the ugliest looking thing but boy, was he pleased. Here's a picture of our catch.



The fish is called a toadfish- ugly color, green eyes the color of something toxic.


We fished for about an hour and enjoyed some quite time together. We saw dolphins playing in the water and enjoyed the quite time together. When you have a large family (crap, do I really have a large family?), it's important to have one-on-one interaction with each child. The little kids (we used to call them the babies, *sniff) take up so much of our energy and Oldest's patience.

What do you do to spend one-on-one time with your children?

I'm Going Fishing

This mama is going fishing today. I'm going to drag my eight year old with me and we are going to catch us some fish. I seem to be the only one in my family that enjoys the sport and I'm perfectly happy sitting outside to enjoy a beautiful day while waiting for a bite. My family, however, does not enjoy it as much. There is no return for them if no fish are caught. But that's all part of the game!

Wait, enjoy, rest, and wait. The fish will come.

My love for fishing may be news to some of you. Some of you may even laugh at the idea that I love to fish. But a diva can be fly while she fishes, right?! Put a cute jumpsuit on tennis shoes. Through a cute hat on and voila - the perfect fishing outfit. In fact, I'm going to buy this cute shirt because it matches my cute tennis shoes perfectly.

So wish me luck because if we don't catch anything this time around, I may have to start going alone.
