I'm in the last five minute stretch at the end of a pretty fun weekend and about ready for bed. Our family spent a lot of time with the Parks family the past few days and it was really nice.
On Saturday, we had good intentions of going to the strawberry festival at Smith's Castle, but we got a late start and it didn't work out, so we ended up at the beach in the afternoon. The kids had a blast swimming, flying a kite, playing in the sand, and eating fun beach snacks. We absolutely loved it. Later, we had a cookout/margarita night which was a great way to decompress.
Today, Chad and Bob were hard at work finishing Amy's new kitchen, and I'm happy to report that (with the exception of some small cosmetics) it is done! We went to the Wakefield block party and had ice cream at Brickley's to celebrate. It was delicious! Madelyn, after almost a month of practice, is quite the connoisseur of ice cream cones and wasn't even messy when she finished, but was begging for more. That girl can eat! She constantly has food in her mouth, and expects everyone around to be feeding her. In fact, at the block party today, she was approaching perfect strangers with ice cream cones and cookies, asking in her most pathetic voice, "Bite?" as if she hadn't eaten in weeks.
The pool project is now at a bit of a stand still, which is perfectly fine with me. Some day, we will have a pool, and I'm looking forward to that day, but it's nice to have a break from it. For now, life is a beach...quite literally. We had a great time there on Saturday, so I think there will be a lot of beach runs in our future. All I have to do now is figure out how to get them to nap on the sand and I'll be in business!
