Solo Parenting Beach Trip

Today I took the kiddos to the beach by myself.  Because of age and equipment it has always been a two parent job but now that they are getting older I decided to try it by myself.  We had a lot of fun at Little Island Park in Sandbridge building sandcastles, running in the water, checking out the pier, building the kids a tide pool, having lunch, jumping in the waves, and on the drive home Brooke needed a bathroom break so we ended up getting a treat when we stopped.

Park and Hot Dogs

Today after nap I took the kiddos to the park where Brooke pushed Alex on the swings and afterwards my big kids ate hot dogs adult style.

9th Wedding Anniversary

We went on a date after a family day on our 9th wedding anniversary and took some pictures of us all gussied up which of course the kids wanted to be in.

Picking Cucumbers In the Rain

What happens when you wake up at 6am to work on the garden by yourself? 1) It rains and 2) your toddler wakes up at the same time.  I took Alex outside in the drizzling rain to start working on the garden and pick some cucumbers only to be completely rained out.  Alex enjoyed a cucumber with his bacon at breakfast after snatching his first one off the cutting board.
