The highlights of our week

This week has been an interesting one……. Right now everyone is sleeping but me. I wish I were but I just ate and well, with baby taking up so much room in there, I just can’t lay down after eating. :o(   We have had lots of family fun this week. We went to the beach one eve and it was amazing!  I was so tired afterwards I thought I would drop but we lived through it. Sadly I had to make the hard choice to leave my camera in the car. I wanted new beach pics of the kids but last time I took it to the beach is when it started acting up. Hard as I try to protect it from blowing sand I am not sure I am fully able to and I don’t want a repeat of of camera probs now that my warranty is expired!  The kids each found “perfect” walking sticks, which came home with us, and the girls names theirs. ;o) They love to name things!

  We spent several hours yesterday at a neighbors because my sweet hubby had agreed to mow the property. We were not able to finish but we had a lot of fun while there. Kids made forts, climbed “mountains”, explored nooks and crannies, had a picnic, rode with Daddy on the lawn mower, etc….  I, for the first time in my almost 30yrs of life, mowed a yard!!! It was a rider so I can’t get too big headed about it, but it was fun! :o) I also got, what just might be, the worst sun burn of my life. :oP  I forgot that my skin has not seen the light of day in forever and my shoulders are now a nice bright lobster red and have a few little blisters, and my nose is just a few shades lighter. :o)    I took oodles of pics so hopefully will have a couple good ones to post.  It was hard to get good pics of the kids because I mostly saw them running in the distance. :o)  We may go back today and have a picnic dinner and try to finish mowing. Not sure yet…… but if we do I am definitely taking sunscreen!!!
