It's the 2nd week of summer break, and I'm already tapped out. We literally sat around the house all day today and barely spoke to one another. I would feel guilty about this if I hadn't spent the past week at the beach with all 3 kids and my mom. Each day we would wake up, and I would cook breakfast. We'd hit the beach for a couple of hours, come home and eat lunch, and then go back. A few days we even went back a THIRD time. My poor mother thought she would go and help me with the kids, but I have a self-sufficient 8-year-old that met a 9-year-old girl there and didn't have much to do with us after that, a 4-year-old who constantly demanded that I go out deep in the ocean with her, and a 1-year-old that refused to let me out of her sight. Every time I would go into the ocean with Victoria, Sophie would walk with outstretched arms toward the ocean crying her head off. Thank God for the few times I was able to leave Sophie back at the house with Mom, so Victoria could actually have me to herself. All in all the trip was great, and the kids were fantastic. Well, until Thursday afternoon in which I had all of them by myself at the beach at high tide. Everyone was beached out by that point, so it was good we were coming back home on Friday.
So, after the long drive home on Friday, I took Trevor and Victoria to the movies on Saturday, we all went bowling on Sunday, and I took them to the pool yesterday. Can you say "Mom of the Year"? So, I'm tired, to say the least, which is the reason for the delay in posting the beach pics. Enjoy.
