We’re at the Beach, Have Some Pun!

At the time this is published, we should be living it up with our family at the beach North Carolina. We’re visiting the Outer Banks for the first time and, since I’m writing this before ever seeing the area, I’m hoping we’re loving the area. As long as we follow the rules, all should be well.

Our plans are minimal; play in the sand (attempting to build a sand castle) and ocean, eat good seafood, and enjoy time together. Simplicity is bliss when it comes to travelling with a toddler as well as when you’re at the beach and just want to relax. We’re not ones to go crazy planning things, that almost seems to add stress when there should be none!

While I’m gone, I just thought I’d share a few puns to make you laugh (or groan) since I’m sure all 5 of my followers are having pun withdrawals. And we all know, 7 days without puns makes one weak. Let’s start with a beach related pun.

Hopefuly, with the help of our safe sunscreen, that won’t be us. As for my Uncle Paul the math teacher, spending time at the beach will just make him a tangent. Go ahead, groan it out, there’s more where that came from!

  • Vandalism is just a stone’s throw away.
  • The starving mathematician joined a free lunch program, it’s the binomial distribution. Math teachers just have a lot of problems.
  • The difference between a hippo and a zippo is that one’s really heavy and the other is a little lighter.
  • The man called someone a watering hole, but he meant well.
  • The drinking club lost its members since the liters did a pour job.
  • After repeated fatal accidents to his flock of sheep, the farmer was able to bring some back to life each time, but they were all rams. I guess ewe only live once.
  • My blind friend saves a ton of money on his electric bill, but he never sees the savings.
  • The greedy dyslexic desired fame so bad that he said he’d sell his soul to Santa.
  • There was a major theft at the upholstery factory. Luckily, everything was recovered.
  • The pianist locked up and started singing because he couldn’t find the key.

Have a great rest of the week!

Bobcat Butt Hugs: #MySundayPhoto

This past week, we ventured through new territory on her WOOM 1 Balance Bike to explore the construction trucks in our neighborhood. Avery will call out a bobcat from a mile away, and when there’s multiple, her excitement can hardly be contained.

When we happened upon these two skid-steer loaders (we just call them all Bobcats for Avery) parked back to back, she proclaimed they were giving each other butt hugs. Hence, bobcat butt hugs. Can’t really say she’s wrong, but I guess it would make for an awkward explanation if she were to say outloud around a group of people. I have a feeling it’s coming….

I’m loving the adventures we’re going on, and we are so proud of our little girl covering new ground and going farther than ever. Before we know it, she’ll be racing several miles on her bike while leaving mommy and daddy in the dust. The cliché of kids growing too fast also means going too fast in this case.

Cold Water, Warm Smiles: #MySundayPhoto

Look, I’m back for the second #MySundayPhoto post in a row! Exciting, right?

Well, I’m excited.

Avery and I have been going to our neighborhood pool every day of the week lately. The water is still pretty cold, so we are always the only ones there, but we don’t care one bit. Cold exposure, i.e. cold thermogenesis actually hosts quite a bit of health benefits, so why not share the wealth health with my daughter?

After 20 to 30 minutes, she’s shivering but still says she wants to stay in the pool. That’s when I say just a few more minutes and then out we go. She doesn’t fight it, and is happy once wrapped in the towel. I’m loving this time with her and we’re so proud of her swimming by herself, with floaties, of course.
