Smarterer

No, it wasn’t misspelled. I’m a member of BzzAgent.com and in a recent BzzCampaign I got to check out a new website, www.smarterer.com.

Smarterer.com is a website to see just how much you know about specific skill areas. Take the test, get your score and share the proof on social media sites.

I was amused to find myself in the top 3 scores for the BzzAgent test when I first took it. But later dropped down in the 20s. Alas.

They have tests is just about every category you could imagine. I think I’ll skip ArchiCAD for now. I might be able to limp through Photoshop… maybe.

So what will you score?

With my Scouts

Graveyard Adventure

Okay, probably not the first family friendly idea that comes to mind on a nice day when you want to get the kids out of the house. But my friend, Malia, suggested we check out The Saluda Hill Cemetary for the view alone. So we did.

And, I have to admit, the view was actually pretty darn amazing for South Alabama!

Tori took the majority of these photos. Good job, girl.

Happy Birthday, e!

Jimmy is in town, even. So they celebrated e’s bday early by having lunch out at Jesse’s Restaurant in Magnolia Springs on Saturday. (Lucky!)

Krewe of Mullet Mates Parade- 2012

This was our very first time at the KOMM Parade. A friend invited us down to check it out. We plan to return. The company and view is WELL worth it.

Oh, did I mention Don, Susan and the girls came in town for Mardi Gras?! YAY!!

Last year I got those cups for all the kids. They were a crazy straw kinda hit.

Tori and Maggie enjoyed taking pictures while we snacked and waited for the parade to roll.

TJ got the baby in the King Cake (recipe posted another day — it was a most excellent King Cake) but he gave it to Tommy. I thought he was being sweet, but now I think he’s trying to get out of buying/making the next King Cake.

And my favorite ending to a parade EVER… there is a older lady passing floats on her personal scooter. ZOOMING past them.

Maids of Jubilee Parade — 2012

Meeting our new puppy, Hondo, for the first time

Hondo is a chunky yellow lab puppy. He was three weeks and two days old when we met him today.

 

We plan to bring him home at 7 weeks.

 

Yes, the name is Hondo. Inspiration from here:

Mystics Mutts of Revelry Parade — 2012

First Moonpie of the Season!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s TACO DOG!

And my favorite of the court, Prince Henry

Knights of Ecor Rouge Parade –2012

In case you’d ever wondered… if they REALLY have to go…

This was Tori’s first Mardi Gras Parade to march with the FHS band. We might have heckled with love a little bit.

Tim stopped by for a quick picture before running off to hang with his friends.

MAGGIE!
