Mario Rescue

Here's something fun that happened today. We met Buck for lunch and he presented us with a note he said he found in the car today.

It was a plea from Toad (from Super Mario Bros.) asking Ian to rescue Mario and his treasure from the evil clutches of Dr. Doom. The only clue Toad could offer was that Doom was meeting his accomplice in the Millenium Falcon. When we got home Ian checked the Falcon and this is what he found. Here's the text: Zurg, Soon the world will be ours! Here is the location of my secret base. It is in code so Luigi can't read it. The treasure will be ours! -Doom.

O
n the inside of the note was the code. If you can't read the penciled letters they are F for four, I for Ian, R for red, and E for egg.

The FIRE clue led us to the fireplace where we found Dr. Doom, Mario (all tied up) and the treasure, Cadbury mini caramel eggs! Mmmmmm. Ian says it was a fun day. Also, he used the money he got from the Tooth Fairy for losing his first tooth, to buy an Ugly Doll named Ugly Dog. :) He knows I am the Tooth Fairy, but that is a post for another day.

Hello and Welcome

Welcome!

I have decided to start a blog to document some of the events in our lives. We are a family of 3 living in North Carolina.
I am Marin, the mom. My husband is Buck and our son Ian will be 7 in a few days. We are an unschooling family, which means that Ian doesn't go to school and we spend our days learning from what we live. Thanks for stopping by.
