Mid-day Beach Update

Wow, what a beautiful beach day - the waves are huge and knocked the boys around quite a bit! We are back for a lunch break and then to the dunes for a bit (hopefully).
Some pictures from the beach...

About to get throttled

I'm wondering if I might find a way to get accidentally left behind for a couple weeks....think anyone would notice if I wasn't in the van on the way home??

Hopscotch and bedtime reading

Ella has been very into hopscotch lately. With Mason's help, she did hopscotch squares all down the driveway. Here is a quick video of Si and Ella hopping



My kids are such hams. I try to sneak up on them with the video camera but I always get busted. Here they were reading together after a bath.

Ella says...

to Mason: "When I'm older, I'll like you more than now" Is she taking this honesty thing a bit too far?

We've had another weekend of just hanging around the house. Friday night we watched Evan Almighty. It was good in a very odd way. This morning the kids had Big Trouble in Little China (with Kurt Russell) on - anyone remember that one from when we (30 somethings) were kids?

Today I took Mason to Walmart to get Guitar Hero 3 - we paid for half as his reward for doing well on his report card. So now he's got long hair AND a guitar...

Here is a video of Ella and Si jumping on the bed and being silly



And here is one of Ella doing a bit of ballet




Now it's time to get ready to watch the Super Bowl - and my favorite part...to eat chili and wings!
