Afternoon fun

It was such a mild afternoon that Jack and I headed out to the beach.   I buried him in the sand and he loved it!  We ended up doing it several more times at his request.  I also had fun writing the boys names in the sand....... sometimes successfully and other times not.   Tomorrow is our last day here as we go home on Saturday morning.  I think we'll be taking Tropical storm Fay with us. 

Are you kidding?

I'm beginning to think that my children hate me and are teaming up against me to take the worst pictures possible.  Today we even enlisted Uncle Miller to snap pictures while Dave and I baby wrangled.  Strike two.   I think I'll have to take a tranquilizer before trying this again.

Non beach fun

We've been staying busy by going to the pool and venturing out into town.  Theo is not at the age for beach fun....... since he's not walking, he gets sand all over his hands (and then his mouth) and eyes.  He won't sit still either, so the beach is pretty much out for him.  Luckily, Dada has been our go-to babysitter for Theo's morning nap.  Theo loves his Dada and it's cute to see how close they have gotten.  We ventured into Seaside to get Jack a couple of new puzzles.  He dove right into one at lunch while Dave and I ate in peace!

Fired Up!

Gigi and I took the boys to a pottery place this morning to beat the heat.  Jack picked a  Santa ornament to paint.  He did it all himself and was very careful.  He even wrote his name on the back of the ornament so we can treasure it for years to come.   Theo chilled in the umbrella stroller and charmed the store owner with his dimples.  We can't wait to pick up the ornament tomorrow!

Wild animals

Yep, that's what I may as well have been attempting to pose on the beach.  My two children would have nothing to do with posing for pictures.  I envy you Rochelle for getting such great shots of your boys!  I'll keep trying but I'm gathering that this will not be an easy task.   But then again, I'm no children's photographer.  I think I'd get fired from that job in 2 seconds......

The beach...... so far

Here are some pics from the beach.   Jack LOVES the water and is not quite as obsessed with diving in the water as he was last year.   He and his brother haven't been feeling the best this week however and we're taking it easy for a few days.  Jack absolutely loves having his Uncle Miller here and is by his side constantly!  Here he is playing Go Fish and Chickenfoot with his uncle.

Theodore, AL

We're at Sea Grove beach in Florida this week on vacation.  We passed right through Theodore, Alabama on our way east.  I made Dave pull over so I could snap a picture of the road sign.  

In other news, I got the boys' Halloween costumes in the mail before we left.  Give you a few guesses on what Theo will be!!
