Us - Week 10

Week 10 was one of my favorites so far! If you know me at all you can probably guess why: the BEACH! Ryan was out of town the first part of the week so by the time he was back plus the fact that it was 70 degrees in March necessitated a trip to the happy place.

My kids love the beach....I mean ADORE it. It makes a mama's heart proud. :) This is just another Papa T picture to file away. (He was standing on the bucket to make the sand castle....???)

We made a high jump course and had the twins run to jump over it. As you can see, sky-high Jenna had no troubles clearing the pole.

A couple of college kids on spring break had the time of their lives digging this huge hole in the sand. Oh to be young again! So we benefited from their hard work while they were gone.

As if the beach was not enough...the beach has BURNEYS. A bakery in Southport that specializes in "Cro-nuts" (Croissants and Doughnuts). Uh-mazing. We didn't even mess around with the other flavors...the new one, cinnamon sugar, is where it. is. at!

The crew posing with their sand creation! The weather was warm, but the wind gave the air a chill. Jenna jumped right in the water - completely not phased. Caden was too busy moving to realize he was cold until it was time to go. Then he was suddenly "freezing." Easton?...clothed head to toe. :) Boy still does NOT like sand in his toes.

The wind also teased us trying to fly the twins' kites. Jenna's princess kite may or may not be high in a tree in the front yard. oops :) 

After we came home I was in complete relaxation mode. Not a good place for a mom of little ones to be. Reality must be resumed! But we did have a lazy morning to ease back into things :)

This is Easton's face while we were driving home from the beach...watching Frozen. :) Hint taken, E!

Did I mention Ryan was out of town this week? This is what happens when you are DONE at 5:30pm and you have not even thought about dinner. In the car, to IHOP you go. A peaceful, quiet, everyone-will-eat dinner and NO clean up. Yessir.
