Beach was nice this morning! Last year I remember chasing O all around the entire time. This time he sat at the edge of the waves and played in the sand the entire time. Which means I got to sit in the edge of the waves! There was sand in unfortunate places... but I’ll take it!

I just went and bought some new bras (first time in years). Apparently I've dropped 2 cup sizes. Thanks kids...

Did y’all hear about the sky diving plane crash in Hawaii? MH’s cousin was on board. His parents are devastated. So crazy.

[danib]

I'm so sorry tgrimes

[waitwhat]

Omg tgrimes. I hadn’t heard about it but just googled. I’m so sorry. That is terrible.

[elle]

Omg tgrimes, I hadn't heard but how tragic. I'm so very sorry. My thoughts are with your family.

What's everyone up to today? I'm just sitting here having a virgin bloody mary (aka spicy tomato juice) while H makes breakfast tacos for brunch. Grabbing a last moment of calm before things get really busy this week. H is going oot to do a huge presentation for work tomorrow. Will be so glad once that's done because he's been super stressed about it. In the way of group presentations since the beginning of time, he's handling his portion like a champ while others are letting things slide or doing things last minute. He's been working on it most of the weekend and is even planning to work on his five hour flight. So please send good thoughts and vibes to him on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I’m finishing up laundry/cleaning before heading to the in laws after h’s nap. We busted out the slip n slide again this morning to keep the kids busy but it ended up being more of a workout for me pushing them on it. I really need them to learn how to run and slide. MH even showed them how to do it. No dice.

I"m so sorry tgrimes, I hadn't heard until your post! My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

elle, we had church today, and a picnic to follow. Otherwise quiet day for us. No speech this week (tomorrow morning) so we'll be sleeping in hopefully! We have our eval/ annual review this Thursday for L's speech.

We went out for breakfast this morning then decided to go to the zoo one last time before our membership expires next week. I don't think we'll renew it again until next spring at this point. It was a beautiful day and the zoo wasn't too busy. We went to see the penguins because we got an email that the new penguin exhibit was going to have to close this fall because the contractor who built it fucked up and it wasn't properly waterproofed. Sucks that they have to shut down for so long to fix it but at least we went to see them. C loves them.

Now we're just sitting at home having a lazy day. I should be doing laundry or something. Oh well.

[starbuck]

tgrimes I'm so sorry for your loss. That is horrifying.

We had church this morning and otherwise hanging at home. I'd hoped to take them to the park after naptime but of course a thunderstorm rolled through right as nap ended so now it's wet and muggy AF so we're going to skip it. Otherwise cleaning and doing laundry.

MH will be home tomorrow around lunchtime! Should be a rather quiet week with W OOT.

I worked today and then had family supper at my mom's. The boys were hyper and emotional after a weekend away (with too much junk and too little sleep, but so much fun). Got them both settled and now I'm 100% crashing in bed, I'm exhausted.

[waitwhat]

It was a beautiful weekend here. I washed our cars and went to the grocery store to pick up some chicken for dinner. We grilled and then I gave the boys a bath.

B has his graduation tomorrow! I can’t believe how fast this year went! I already promised him a trip to the playground and McDonald’s for lunch afterwards. Also, only 2 more speech sessions and he’s done for the summer!
