Life With Wee People: Stalking the moon...

We just got back from exploring Indialantic and Melbourne. Hubby was a sweetheart and let me be a pain in the a$$ back-seat-driver chasing sunsets, stars and generally running amok with the shorties in tow. Our late night objective? Stalking the moon...

The kids had a blast because we love exploring piers and strolling beach side. It's hard counting stars in NYC but there's plenty of open space down here to give it a go.

We had dinner here... Stephen, the Minion Blur wanted to be two doors down chillin' at Starbucks. He was quite vocal about it (LOL). I shall be updating Diary of a Five Year Old Yuppie shortly. After that insane parking lot debate how can I not? (silly grin) We owe Little Man a Tazo Tea and a Lemon Loaf. ;-)

It's kind of fun playing with the kids on the boardwalk. Listening to the ocean waves and stalking the moon is a Noah, the Net Geek thing. He loves taking pictures of the sky... We also cloud watch. Lately, I've been shark and jelly-fish watching but I'll save that for my next jogging on the beach post (wicked little grin).

We've been running the streets almost all day and scoping landscaping and picnic benches for our front yard (happy sigh). Chillin' beach side for the evening was a neat treat but now I have to get back to writing because my Editor is waiting... 

The wee people are working on their books as well. While the kids edit their audio tracks I'm gonna be stretched out on the floor with my chapter print outs, a couple of sketchbooks and black pens scribbling away. Hopefully the cartoons in my head will misbehave enough to keep me entertained, drawing and writing.

The wee people are all set to help out tonight. They also have their side amusements set up to spark their creativity. Their trains and hot wheels are lined up on my sleeping bag and since Mikey is hanging out next door my butt has literally been designated a Thomas the Train hill tonight (LOL).

I bet you wish you were a fly on the wall for the boobies conversation. Apparently, Shorty thinks they're just another set of hills to drive on (LOL).
