what a day...

Today I decided to document a little of our fun day! There are so many days that we stay in our PJ's and don't even leave our yard...with a new baby there comes nap and feeding schedules, I am usually one who tries to be home for naps, especially with Aliza being so young, I want to get that nap time drilled into her! Right now I've got both Camille and Aliza going down for naps in between 1-2, and sleeping until 4:30 sometimes! that means I get a little time to do what needs to be done around the house (or take a little nap myself!) But it is fun to do things out of the norm every now and then!

There was a "community" garage sale going on, so we met up with a bunch of friends to do a little treasure hunting....this meant we were up, fed, dressed and out the door before 8! (Keep in mind the girls don't even get up until 8am) There were definitely some sleepy heads riding in the car this morning :)

(we should all really be on the American Pickers show)...

young love, seriously...can they be any cuter! Camille and Jackson have been best buds since before they could crawl! They love eachother and laugh at eachother...even when no one is saying anything, they are just a hoot to watch together :)

after spending only a total of $5 (I had just spent...well...that's not important, let's just say I was on a budget), we were off to the beach!!! Just Darci and I and the kiddos went, the others decided that buying a cute little puppy would be more fun! We gobbled down a quick lunch at home, packed our beach bags and were out the door! On the way, we stopped and got a refreshing cup of lemonade from the neighbors lemonade stand...yum. Camille took a quick 20 minute nap in the car so she was re-energized and ready to run! We had no idea it was going to be sooooo windy!!! We could hardly even walk on the beach! We found a little "hiding spot" in the dunes and the kids had a BLAST doing some "pretending" and fort building in the sand!

After our 2.5 hour fun on the beach, it was time to get home! Aaron had been away for 4 days and we were happy to find him at home when we arrived! The girls were especially happy to see their dad :) THEN...the neighbor girls brought over some fun Thank You gifts for us to enjoy! We have been walking them to the bus stop every morning while their mom went to work...but our shift has ended. They are too sweet....

The evening ended with waffles for dinner and Toy Story 3...love that movie! Aliza was down at 6:30 for the night and Camille was out before I even left her room!

it was just a great day...
