You know it's summer when....

You can actually wear a bathing suit to the beach in Bodega.


She could live every day at the beach. After all....she did say her favorite food is sand in her "all about me" preschool book.



I close my eyes and pretend we are in Hawaii, and then all sudden a seagull takes my bag of chips, and then a step or two into the frigid water brings you back to reality.




Drew and the beach have a roller coaster relationship. Sometimes he only observes...and then when he decides to take the plunge, he changes his mind. But there is not a better thing to play chase with then the waves. If you could see his face close up in the pic...it is a face of pure panic.





We will see you soon Hawaii. Pinky swear.

It starts at a young age.....

It is now time to feature Drew's quotes and interesting thoughts on life as he walks around as a almost 5 year old.

"This pancake bite is too fatty so I am going to throw it away."
"When is Lilly going to get boobies like you mommy?"





When asked why he puts things down his pants, Drew responded calm, cool, and collected with this, " things get charged and get power when they are in my pants....and Lilly puts her special things under her pillow- I put them in my pants."

Hello...is there anyone out there?

I suck at blogging. I don't blame you if you don't read this anymore, or have given up on me. I think I suck too.

Seriously.

I have wanted to write some things down that the kids randomly say that just bring a smile to my face. I know unless I write it down it...it will be lost forever. Our feature appearance tonight is twin B.

Lilly's quotes-

"Where are the flowers that God made?" as she walks open palms to the neighbors freshly mowed lawn.
"Drew....you are going to marry me and my adult teeth."
As we have been at a park for about 2 minutes and Lilly goes right up to another girl her age, "Mommy...this girl is my best friend ever"

Two Wheeling fun....

He has been doing this for a while now, but he was giggling when he did it (first try mind you) Shouting, "I am doing it...I am doing it"



This is the best thing ever invented for basically teaching your kids how to to ride without training wheels. The scooter bike with no pedals, so all they concentrate on is balancing. It's genius if you think about. I mean they know how to pedal...it's the balance they need to get down. Once they can balance and ride this well, transitioning to a two wheeler is piece of cake!

LIlly is now practicing hard on the scooter bike. We all know how competitive she is. I wonder where she gets that? hmmm.

Well played Lilly

So after a long day of excessive whining, I say to Lilly,

"Oh my goodness Lilly, stop whining."

Lilly proceeded to say,

"Mommy, I am not whining. I am just breathing"

Well, I can't ask my daughter to stop breathing. So point goes to Lilly.

Thunder T-ball

Our first experience with team sports has started.

Is this age appropriate?

At four and half, should a peanut and butter jelly sandwich leave this much a mess?
