Well we ventured to the beach on Saturday. Half way there we were in stopped traffic because of a wreck ahead of us so it took twice as long to get there. When we did finally arrive with babies, chairs, cooler,bag, etc. it was so windy that we couldn't get the blanket down, sand was flying in their faces, and it was so hot we felt like we were baking. In the 20 minutes we were there, Brody managed to get two huge handfuls of sand in his mouth and Gracie got one plus sand in her mouth. The only one that liked the water was Brody. We decided on the long trip back that we would wait 5 years before we try the trip again.
Today we got our new fridge delivered. It was a replacement since our old one was still under warranty... score! They delivery company managed the dent it on the front and we just noticed they messed our wall up too. Nice! We also went on a Walmart trip and with coupons I saved over $68! The babies did so well during the 3 hour ordeal. Ricky cleaned out the garage, I loaded the car with items I'm donating tomorrow to a local shelter, we made dinner, and just put the babies to sleep. The babies played in their playroom. They just love all their toys!
Speaking of toys, I'm totally dreading all the toys they will get for their birthday. I'm going to look into setting up a college fund/ savings/ CD/ IRA- not sure what the best type of account will be- for each of the babies. I have to think Dave Ramsey for these ideas.
I think that is all the has been going on here. Still in the middle of the kids' bathroom redo and office (million papers to file) redo. It's not fun until you've got a hundred project going, right?
Happy Memorial Day! Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday. He would have been 53. Still so young and he died way too soon. Wish he were here to meet the babies.
