Beach and other things

Well, it happened again. I fell off the blogging wagon. I just got so busy with work and life that I haven't been keeping things up to date. Sorry :(!

This week we have been at the beach with PopPop, Nana, Jaime, Jason, Lauren-Jason's girlfriend, Timmy and Brittney-Timmy's girlfriend. The girls are old enough now that the trip down seemed like it would never end. Emma kept asking are we still going to the beach momma? I think she thought we had changed our mind. When we were about an hour away she finally said, "I want to turn around and go back home." Bless her, she just has to have her sleep. And if her bootie was as tired as mine, I am sure that didn't help the situation. Once we were here, she was thrilled. We have built sand castles, picked up shells, floated in the ocean and frozen to death in the pool. Yesterday she told me, I am tired of the beach mommy. SO instead of doing the beach thing we went to the zoo. Last night, she said she was ready to go home. I think she just misses her bed. We have been sleeping together and every night she says "MOMMA! MOVE OVER!! I CAN'T SLEEP WITH YOU TOUCHING ME!"

Abigail made the trip down just fine. You know she never misses a beat. At 18months she slept 2 hours of the 7 hour trip and at 2 1/2 she didn't bat an eye and at 3 she was going strong the entire time. She hasn't missed a step on the beach either. She cries every day when I tell her she has to come up for lunch. And demands that she doesn't need a nap--and then sleeps for 3 hours each time.

Uncle Timmy has taught them to love Ron Dupert(aka Mt. Dew)...they had never had it until the trip and PopPop gave them some at the zoo, so now they keep asking for Ron Dupert. They are basking in all of the attention they have been recieving. The first couple of days they had 5 young 20 somethings to play with---great for mom and dad to get some relaxation. I think Abigail has aged about 14 years being around all these young girls. Last night she informed me that she needed some make-up. So I got her some clear lip gloss, which she slathered all over her mouth and then proceeded to stick out her lips like Angelina Jolie :)!

Sad that the time here is coming to an end, but will also be glad to get everyone back on schedule, in their own beds and NO SAND in our hair.
