Toes in the sand

We got away for the weekend.  Without little toddler boys.  Without dogs to take out to potty.  And without work to do at home.  You could say it was incredibly relaxing and much needed.  Thanks to my parents for watching Isaac for the weekend and allowing us to stay in their beach house!! 

We traveled down to the beach with our friends and neighbors.  It's been fun getting to know them this past year.  What makes it even more fun is the fact that Christina is due with baby #1 about a week before our baby is due.

As you can imagine we did a lot of sitting around relaxin'...

We played Spades...

And beat the boys FINALLY...

We played tennis...

We ate out every meal...  

I sure won't be surprised if I go into my ultrasound appointment tomorrow and they find a donut wrapped around our child's head.

Funny story--on Saturday we ate at this little hole in the wall place right by my parent's house for lunch.  We had the usual heathy meal of burgers, onion rings, and french fries.  Once our food came Steven placed the ketchup bottle in his hand (the kind that squirts out), shook it up, and opened it.  All I heard was this nasty explosion squirty sound and looked over to see him covered...I mean covered..in ketchup.  He couldn't see out of his left eye due to the amount of ketchup that landed in it.  The following picture definitely doesn't do it justice but it was hilarious!  I had tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard.

We ate out again that night at a yummy seafood place.  Thankfully no exploding ketchup bottles...

We even got to see a movie that night!  A rare treat for people with children, as most of you know.  If you haven't seen "The King's Speech" it's a must.  Of course, I love anything British and with Colin Firth...my first crush from the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice.  Pleeeease tell me you've seen it!

 And we of course did a little walking on the beach.  It definitely wasn't lay out weather, but it was beautiful.

And last but not least, a great time was had with the hubs!

Now, for warmer weather so next time we don't have to wear fleece jackets on the sand!
