Seashells by the seashore

Where to begin...
It has been a busy busy summer, we just got back from the Ocean, Noskowin (I think) about 10 miles from Lincoln city. We went with my mom and Grandma and step dad. We got this great beach house right on the beach, there was a golf course a little bike path and little store. It was pretty good weather, we had a fire place and that just made it for me. I realized that living by the sea is just right for me, I could live in my uggs and a great cozy sweater, sit by the fire place with all the doors and windows open, drinking hot chocolate and listening to the waves....what a life. We left at about 50 degrees and came home to about 90- what a difference. With that cool weather Ive been itching for fall, I think I even saw some reddish orange leaves on our travels, even more itches for my boots to come out and my great sweaters- out with the shorts and give me my good old jeans!
We had a great time but are so glad to be home, I have been gone with the girls from home for about three weeks, to Wenatchee and the Ocean so many travels but wow how being gone has caused alot of bumbs in our schedules and routines. Hannah is not sleeping AT ALL- getting up in the middle of night, not going down at the right bedtime and waking up at 600 and no later. Zoe on the other hand is finally sleeping in her big girl bed with no troubles: THANK GOODNESS. Life is pretty great right now and Im enjoying and taking it all in before the preschool season starts and we are off to more routines.
I just signed on a babysitter, yep a real babysitter, not Beth not Rachel or Amy or Melanie or whoever else Ive forgotten. Thanks to Melanie Ive finally got a number and made the call. First time is tomorrow so we will see.
We are starting to embark on some new adventures I guess and I cant wait to see how the rest of the year goes, as for now Im just trying to look forward to a new year with my husband, 6 years on August 30th!
Heres to new beginnings and a great new season, filled with lots of laughter and love and happiness and red leaves, and pumpkins and apple pie ( Ive decided Im going to try and make one this year) and to smiles and smiles and more smiles.........
Enjoy

When it rains.....it pores:)

So here I am visiting the great town of wenatchee- great friends good family and two children! A two year old and a 6 week old. Never have I traveled this far ( 2 1/2 hours) by myself with them and the trip there- fantastic!! Well on the way home I was stopped by a road crew blowing up rocks- 20 minute delay- okay, so we wait the twenty minutes. We pass the flagger and of course it has been 2 hours since I fed the newborn so its time to eat she screams- we make it to the rest stop and POW its closed, so we pull over! Then in the middle of feeding my two year old yells POTTY MOMMY, POTTY MOMMY- great- I say. So I give her the option to go outside- NO WAY so I say " lets put on your sisters diaper and just this one time you can go in a diaper" NO WAY aaaaaaaaaaaa- what do I do...well, there is a fruit stand up the road! So we hop in the car, get to the fruit stand and I plead my case- YES they say, you can use the toilet!!!
okay, I think we are good to go...but of course we get behind three truckers!!!
So long story short our 2 1/2 hour trip ends up taking us almost four and we make it home to a loving husband and father and a batch of peanut butter cookies from the neighbor!
I guess there is always a rainbow at the end of a rainstorm- HUH?
