Back from the Beach and Feeling the Love

We had a fantastic weekend in Ventnor with some great friends. We spent the weekend eating lots of barbequed goodies, splashing in the waves, and playing some really fun games. The girls created "habitats" in beach buckets today. They both picked up tiny clams and enjoyed watching them burrow back into the sand. I even found a hermit crab for them that didn’t do a whole lot, but they loved it anyway. When all was said and done, we put the little creatures back on the beach, packed up, and drove home.

We made a brief stop on the way home and were very pleased to see that our siding is going up on the house. My parents stopped by over the weekend and said the guy was working all day Saturday. He got a lot done. By the end of this week, we may actually have a house that’s not green with rain guard wrap.

Usually when I go away on a little vacation, something bad happens. People write mean things about me on their websites or my cat starts barfing a lot. Tonight I came home to this award from one of my favorite bloggers, Karl.
