We went to Panama City Beach over last weekend and I got to take some really good pictures. While we were there we got to walk along the very windy beach at St. Andrews State Park. The kids got to climb on the jetties and I got some much needed salt air. I miss the salt air here in Tallahassee. I am really looking forward to spring break when I can get several days on or at least near the beach. Maybe the kids will at least get to put their feet in the water! I can't wait to see how Connor is going to react to the cold water on his little baby toes. I am also looking forward to being able to take more pictures. I really enjoyed wandering around with my camera and wish I was able to take more pictures. I strained the back of my knee a couple days before the visit and was not able to walk as much as I would have liked.
Kyrsten had so much fun on the beach on Saturday and when we got home it was too late to do much of anything except go to bed! Sunday was filled with trying to get rid of some of the clutter in her room. We filled up two large trashbags with trash, on large trash bag of clothes and one small bag of toys that could be given away or sold. I still have more work to do as under her bed looks like an explosion of toys and trash! On Sunday afternoon I went into the bathroom to give Connor a bath and I found Kyrsten's umbrella in the shower! Well I couldn't help but to start laughing. I brought the dripping wet umbrella out and asked her why it was in the shower. She said "because it rains in the shower I thought I should bring the umbrella in." How cute is that? I couldn't believe the simplicity of her statement! I mean of course it rains in the shower, duh! You know sometimes you get so frustrated with the way your kids do things or bicker with one another and then they do something so cute you just roll with laughter. Thank goodness they have a wonderful sense of humor!
I really enjoyed my visit with Mom and Ed. Being around family and getting to show them all the little things the kids are doing is great. Connor is giving kisses to people now if they ask, Kyrsten is getting very sarcastic and of course Beau and Alyssa are just teenagers!! There never seems to be enough time though! While I was there Ed made sure to give me the sugar bowl that matches the plates and bowls they gave me a few weeks ago. I have not had a sugar bowl in ages. I didn't realize how much I missed one until I got it home and filled it up. It looks so pretty next to my new coffee canister on the counter! I use a different kind of sugar in my coffee and it was really hard to get that package open in the mornings and get my spoon all the way down inside. Now I just open my little sugar bowl and I can see how much I am getting, no more guessing how full the spoon is! The little things are very much appreciated!
