Fall, How I love thee..

Hey there! Its me the big fat slacker! While I was not updating this here blog Summer has gone and my favorite time of year has arrived. Fall. Since our family had one crazy Summer, to say the least, we ended it by going to Bethany Beach. Andrews Aunt and Uncle own a beach condo there and were kind enough to let us have it for four days. A relaxing trip was much needed. Especially after the stress of moving and then getting the house on the market. Which said house is now under contract as of Andrews birthday and we close on the 29th! Yipee!!!

We headed to Bethany on a Thursday the night before hurricane Earl was supposed to hit. He didnt hit but did make for some pretty fantastic waves on Friday. They were really quite breath taking. No water fun was had that day obviously. The rest of the time there the weather was perfect. Lots of time spent in ther water, playing in the sand, walking, and of course eating seafood to my hearts content. I love seafood Andrew does not. So whenever we head to the beach I get my fill.

Uncle Ben joined us for a few days and on Sunday he watched the girls so we could have a much needed date night. I got my fill on whole crabs while Andrew enjoyed some fried chicken. We got to sit at a bar together and have a drink and then do some walking on the beach. Andrew spotted a sand crab but didnt want anything to do with it. I caught it in the hopes of bringing it back to the condo to show the girls. The little fella was to fast and jumped right out of my hands and was gone. Maybe next time...When we got home the condo was still standing and Uncle Ben still had all his hair. So good night all the way around!

We spent a good amount of time at Funland and I even talked Leia into going in the haunted house. Or creepy place as Leia called it. After we got out of there she told Andrew "The creepy man took my heart" I hung my head in shame and felt like the wrolds worst Mommy. She got over it though and actually asked a few weeks later if she could go back! Ivy was big enough to get to enjoy some of the rides to. I think she liked them...She didnt really show much expression no matter

 how hard Andrew and I tried from the sidelines to get her to smile. I am sure we looked like idiots. The things you do for your kids. I think Leia's favorite ride was the god awful merry go round. I hate that thing. It makes me sick then add in there Andrew throwing popcorn at us every time we came around to him. Leia loved the popcorn throwing...

We got to spend a day at Dewey beach which was perfect for the girls. No waves and the water was nice and calm. Leia and I did a nice walk to the ferry and back finding sea shells. I was so proud

of her for doing that entire walk without having to be carried.

The trip was a wonderful ending to our summer. Ivy had no fear of the water and Leia did much better this year then previous years. The only part that really sucked was sleeping. Ivy doesn't like to be away from home and didn't do to well snoozing in the pack and play. Actually she did awful. So that part wasn't fun but the rest of it rocked!

We got back just in time for school to start. Both girls are going to school now. Ivy tuesday and thursday at Miss Shelleys and Leia at Frying pan park on M/W/F.

But that post will have to be written tomorrow as my lovely Ivy Rose is waking up from nap so its time to go plant some stuff!
