Beach Fun!!!

Well, gas prices didn't stop us from heading to the beach this Memorial Day Weekend. They are getting up there, but we are just cutting back in other areas like eating out and such. So we headed down for a beautiful weekend. The weather was great! We spent the first day just hanging out and relaxing at the house, then the next few days on the beach during the days and hit up the O.C. Boardwalk at night. We walked through Trimpers and Jolly Rogers with all the rides. The girls are just a tad too short to ride most so next year should be fun for that.

So here's the part where I get to plaster pictures of my girls up and not feel guilty about it : ) Enjoy!

Books vs. Movies

I haven't read a book in a while. With kids, work, husband and other responsibilities I haven't taken the time to actually sit down and read in quite some years. My friend Lauren recommended a book that she was reading so I decided it was time to do it. I headed over to the library and got P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern. I loved the book! I totally recommend it to anyone unless ... you want to see the movie.

I have been told that the movies aren't nearly as good as the books they are made from, so I knew it wouldn't be perfect, but I wasn't ready for what I saw. It was incredibly awful!! Now I am sure the movie could be fine on it's own so I'll have to get an unbiased opinion (someone who hasn't read the book) to see if it was good and I just was expecting something totally different or not. But, they changed EVERYTHING!! During the whole movie I just kept saying "that's not the way it should be", and after it was over I just had to shake my head.

So I guess from now on when I read a book I will just have to skip the movie : )

Love that Spring Weather!!

What a great Saturday we just had!! The weather was a tad chilly still, but I am so glad because it shows that warmer weather is on the way!!

We started the day early going to some yard sales with my friend Lauren. It reminded me of how much I missed them from last year. I can't wait to go again!! I didn't really buy anything, so my husband thought the day was a success : )

Then later in the day we went up to visit my dad and had a picnic outside with him. It was a Burger King picnic, but that is what time allowed : ) They have a nice big grassy place and the girls were having fun playing with some balls and blowing the dandelions.
