This morning I’m leaving for the beach. Me and the kids will be hanging with my Aunt Sandy and my grandparents while Jason is off on a solo-hike trying to find himself in the mountains (hopefully not practicing his mad karate skillz on bears). We’ll be back on Friday.
More than likely I’ll be busy trying to recapture that sense of magic I felt last year. I’ll be shoving the kids’ faces full of ice-cream hoping to plug their cry holes for a few merciful moments. Trying to coordinate Arlo’s finicky nap schedule around our outings and digging tiny grains of sand out of their buttcracks. Fun! And hopefully, I’ll be digging holes to China and blackening marshmallows over the fire. Cross your fingers that running after my son in strange surroundings won’t make me drink before noon.
See you on the flip-side, internet peeps.
happy and safe travels friend.
can’t wait for the beachy stories when you return.
have fun!
I hope you have a blast and try to keep the butt crack sand to a minimum, k?
Is there something wrong with drinking before noon?
Miss you.
oh…what will I do without my Andi all week….
Yummmm…….blackened marshmallows! Have a great time!
Ugh, stupid internet eating my comment!
Hopefully the beach will help Elliot become a little more human…LOL!
Here’s hoping your sand detail wasn’t as involved as I am sure it was. HUGS!
yeah, you say drinking before noon like it’s a bad thing. HELLO you’re on VACATION.
surely one drink before noon can’t be bad…right?
have fun!
Like I always say, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere! (Jimmy Buffett totally ripped me off)
think you want to update your house rules (or make a “vacation rules”…?
certain gems like
–if it is brown and grainy- do not eat it. yes, it looks like brown sugar, but is crawling with all kinds of ugly bugs
– if mommy has a “mommy drink” in her hand, you probably had something to do with the reason she needed it, so be a lil extra nice maybe? i’m sure mommy having sand in places she’d rather not think about is grating on her in more ways that one….
–see those animals that LOOK just like your toys? they’re not as cuddly. look, listen and learn, but NO TOUCHEY!
– playing in the ocean is NOT an alternative to bath time. a bath consists of soap and CLEAR water
“Cry holes” Love it!
Have fun!
Enjoy!!
We’re headed to the beach next week. Can’t wait…
