This weather threw everyone for a loop it seems. We went from sweltering hot temperatures to rainy sweatshirt weather over night. And my husband went from spending 14 hours a day away from home to coming in at random times during the day, restless and looking for work to do. Thankfully they were able to get the wheat crop in before the almost inch of rain we received.
So, this crazy cold and rainy weather is what took us to the beach in the middle of the week in August. It was a pleasant deviation from the norm and I soaked up the time with my little family. The day was great, full of sun (it was much warmer at the Coast), sand, shopping, and fish and chips at Mo's.
Jeff taught the girls how to build a real sand castle. The method was lost on Mandy, but Emma liked the cool trick. The girls could have played in the sand all the live long day. They were angles while we were down at the beach.
Mandy has no fear, just like Emma, and crawled straight for the water. She was headed for the waves when we rescued her.
Don't you hate that yucky sandy feel after playing at the beach? Having kids covered in the stuff in every conceivable crevice, is much, much worse than my own discomfort. They were such a mess. But they didn't care one bit.
Yes, she is eating the sand and no, we couldn't make her stop. We were flicking her hand for awhile and saying "icky" and then she would crawl behind something and shovel some more sand into her mouth. I don't feel like the best parent for admitting this. I told myself that it wasn't the end of the world. Right?
I got a new red coat. It called out to me, from somewhere in my kacki, beige, and denim soul. My non-red-loving husband loves it and even insisted I wear it instead of my gray sweatshirt (sometimes I go crazy and wear gray). I think his soul needs red too.
This picture cracks me up. I set the camera up with the girls in the picture. It took them 10 seconds to completely get out of the shot. Oh, well. It isn't very often I get a picture with just me and my guy. I love him and our completely unpredictable life.
