CRAZY....
That seemed to be the question out of everyone's mouth when I told them for my birthday I would be joining my sister Kelly, two of my friends, Shanen and Trish, along with a minimum of 14 kids at BIG SURF for the day. I guess I am crazy...because we had a blast!!!
Pudgie was terrified of the wave pool but happily sat right next to me, clutching my leg, at the end of the concrete beach waiting for the water to crash onto our toes. All the kids loved riding the waves and going down the slides. Jax was a little scared of the slides and didn't want to admit it in front of his best friend Emma. I was good with that. They got to come and go as they pleased into the pools and slides and I had a great time catching up on life with my sister!
I also got to spend a lot of time with each of my big kids today. Kelly took Pudgie into the kiddie pool, where there was plenty of shade for each of them, and I got to play in the waves with both Binx and Jaxi. It was time together we needed and with summer closing quickly, I know they liked it as well!
Maybe I am a little crazy. Today is not a day I could have gone to get my nails done or had dinner alone with Tommy. Our schedules don't accomodate special days all the time. I guess that is what makes us work so well. If Tommy had been off work... we still would have headed to Big Surf...all of us...because I would not have wanted to be anywhere else!!!! CRAZY works for me and I wouldn't trade that for the world!!!

2 Lightbulb moments:
I'm glad the day turned out so great. I would have loved to spend more time with you catching up, but besides that, the day really was perfect. I think we would both agree the time spent with out own kids was priceless. I hope the rest of your day was great.
I owe you a something....I couldn't quite get a grip on what to get you for your birthday, I don't even know what you eat anymore. But I was thinking like...I could watch Pudge for a bit and you could do your alone time when the kids go back to school. There is no more Jax staying home to watch him come 6 more days. =)Did I say YAHOO yet??
Why don't you all come over for lunch on Wednesday next week? If that day works for you, it works for me. It will be just us Moms and toddlers. We can either celebrate or throw ourselves a pity-party! :) Happy Birthday! I haven't forgotten my promise by the way... I just have TOO MANY CHILDREN in my house!! It's crazy here!
