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!

New Pic's of the Girls

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.

Cancun, MX !!

Wow, how that week went by waaaayyy too quickly : )

We had a blast! We did some tours and activities and then we did nothing, which was great too! We went down with friends of ours, Becky and Tom, who also have twins that are 3. No kids, no work, no stress, it was great : )

So here we are on the airplane getting ready to leave BWI. It earlier than any human should be awake, but we were excited to get going.

So after an uneventful flight ( Thank you Lord!) We were there in sunny Mexico!

We went to Chichen-Itza, went shopping, rode ATV's, snorkeled, then while Becky, Tom and I went scuba diving Chris rode the ATV's again : ) Other than that we relaxed by the pool and contemplated our most difficult decision of the day ~ What should we have for dinner? After dinner they had lots of cool shows outside of the hotel lobbies that we went to. Michael Jackson was definitely the most popular night : ) I never imagined a Mexican Michael Jackson could be so good! They also had Karoke, and a Fire Show that were really good. There was also a different drink of the day was really neat so we could try new drinks that we had never heard of before. Here are some fun pics from the week : )

Vacation

Well, we are two days away from a week of nothing to do!! Chris and I are so excited to be heading down to Mexico for the week! This will be the longest we have ever been away from the girls and I think I am starting to get a little anxious. Not because I am worried that anything will happen to them since they are staying in the very capable hands of my in-laws and parents, just because we haven't been away from them for that long and it seems weird to not be taking them with us. I am sure I will adjust just fine when the time comes : ) Chris on the other hand is ready to drop them off somewhere now : P

We will have lots of pictures to post when we get back and will be thinking of all of you while we are gone wishing you were there : )

What a Gorgeous Day!!!

Wow, it was supposed to be a rainy mess today, but it has turned out to be a beautiful day!! After some early morning deals were had at the Mother of Multiples ReSale, we headed outside to get some of that greatly missed sunshine! It was so much fun playing with the girls outside and watching them run with their ride-on cars all over the driveway and up the sidewalk. I am really looking forward to warm weather!

Then the fun turned into "Hey why don't we mulch today?" (hubby)
"Sure???" (wife) was the answer and off we went to find the perfect mulch. Who knew there were so many different kinds and so many different prices also! After a lengthy discussion about which was the perfect one that also fit into the price range we were wanting to spend we finally headed out of the door 20 bags of mulch richer : )

Then the real fun began : ) 20 bags of mulch later I am sitting here wishing I were soaking in the tub with a really sore back, but the deed is done!! I am quite proud of our accomplishment and surprised that we really did use all 20 bags.

So here's to a wonderful spring day!!!! Come back soon : ) !!!
