The story behind the name

I have always loved sea glass because of the beautiful green, blue and brown hues that are made even more breathtaking when they are tossed in the water. I am also drawn to pretty glass bottles, especially those with unique shapes, textures or stories. When we purchased our land, it had lot of garbage where our driveway now sits. Included in this garbage were lots of glass bottles in all different shapes, sizes and colors. As unappealing as this may sound, there have been many beautiful and unique glass bottles found at the property. While we obviously do not want to drive on a green glass road, the road itself was only made possible after lots of green glass was recovered. So therin lies the story behind the name of the Adventures at Green Glass Road.

That's a wrap!

This weekend Keith, Craig and Ronnie were able to finish most of the house wrap to help protect the sheathing until the siding goes up. They also finished the hurricane strapping on the house. Hopefully that helps keep all the hurricanes far, far away! On Sunday, they started framing the interior walls. Everything looks like little boxes to me, and I am not sure how anything that we own will actually fit in those boxes. I will trust that my husband (who actually measures things) knows better than me. Considering that I have been known to have a deficiency for visualizing anything that has to do with distance and space, it is probably wiser to place the bet on him. I am comforted by the simple fact that if all else fails, we have a big yard to put our stuff :)

At our current house, we got a dusting of snow Saturday morning. Just enough snow to mess the roads up for a couple of hours, but not enough to make it worthwhile to bundle two children all up. Especially when it typically takes three times as long to get them dressed as the average time they want to spend outside. So I decided to bring some snow inside for fun instead. They had quite a bit of fun with it, until the end when the snowman was melting much faster than Julia could finish him. Hence the end photo where she is also melting down :) True to form, however, they had a great time and were asking to do it again sometime.
