and baby makes 6!

I hope that someone gets my….

message in a bottle..

I found this little kit in a shop near us a few weeks ago, and tucked it away for the 4th.  It was so incredibly cute.  There was a little bottle, adorable notes in English and Spanish that you could fill in your name, where the bottle was launched, and your mailing addy so whoever finds it could send you a note and tell you were it ended up.

We filled out the form, wrote a funny note on the back, and also asked that whoever finds it let us know where it drifted ashore etc, then we stuffed the note in.

Even Honey was curious.  Billy was busy scraping barnacles off the prop…….he’s like that you know….always moving and doing.

Then we fired up the tea candle, grabbed a spoon and melted the wax to seal the cork. There were lots of “Let me melt the wax” and “Can I spread the wax on”. Um, no. You cannot play with fire on the boat that is filled with wood. Mom gets that honor.

Then the kids fought over who would get to throw it overboard until finally Mia grabbed it, threw it and said “THERE!” loudly. Right on baby sista.

I wonder if it will end up someplace exotic and fun. Like Paamul? Keep an eye out for it, guys. ;*)
