Mustang Monday

Mick has been working so hard on his mustang. The UPS and Fed Ex guys are going to be on my Christmas list because I see them so often. These are mostly pictures of the engine, and of the engine bay.. all I seem to know is that the engine bay needs to be finished in order to put the engine inside. (ha! and he thinks I don't listen) oh yeah, and some wires need to be replaced.

I really like those blue things, they make it look nice.

The engine bay he has been sanding to get ready for some paint

We spent all day Saturday painting the garage walls and in a couple of weeks we should be done with the floor in there. Maybe one day I will actually get pictures of things that are finished.

soccer time again

It's that time again; soccer games, soccer practice, soccer girls, and soccer parents. I've been driving all over the county to watch Sydney play but I really don't mind she loves it and they are doing pretty good. The only one complaining is Brody, after about 30 minutes he is ready to go home and he has no interest in watching his sister. I am a people watcher and I have a good time watching the parents at the games you'd think they are the ones playing. Some moms are running on the sides and kicking there legs while others are yelling at the refs, it's hilarious. I will be spending the next few weeks going to her games so I expect there will be more pictures of girls soccer.

Moores Creek National Battlefield

This past weekend we took to kids to Moores Creek National Battlefield to see the annual reenactment of the battle that took place between the British and North Carolina loyalist in 1776. It was about 20 minutes outside of Wilmington, we've been here for several years and this was the first time we have gone. It was a very nice park it's very clean a lot of families brought there own food and were having a picnic.

They had a few tents on display and I am sure glad that I didn't have to sleep in those, they slept on straw and a couple of blankets that is all they had.

 

The cannons were very loud and Brody was trying his best to cover his ears.

This picture was taken on the bridge between the creek where the battle took place it's amazing how close you had to be to fight the enemy.

This lady was demonstrating how they used to spin wool to make there clothes. She explained how the farmers were expected to send all their to cotton to Britain for free and they would turn the cotton into fabric that would be sold back to the farmers for high prices and taxed so high most farmers couldn't afford it.

Brody with a historic rock, so I had to take it home.
