Back to real life....

So after a wonderful long weekend, we are back to "real life."  I am caught between a list of things I NEED to do and a list of things I WANT to do.  There is some crossover, but really, I need to tackle list number one so I don't feel guilty about doing list number two. Just lots of little things...hair appointments, bills, dentist visits, Christmas shopping, etc. 

Anyway, we had a WONDERFUL weekend!  Getting away was exactly what we needed.  Just time to be together without the pressure of house cleaning, dishes, work, phone calls, etc. We really enjoyed being at the beach.  It is so wonderful to be able to drive an hour and really feel like we got away.  We saw cars that had obviously driven a long way to enjoy the warm Florida weather and we were again thankful that we LIVE here.

When we got to the beach on Friday the weather was quite chillly (at least for the beach).  That of course did not stop the kids from playing!  Doesn't it look COLD?  It was and I didn't stay long!

Saturday, on the other hand, was GORGEOUS!  We spent a few hours in the morning playing the pool.  There was a big waterfall that the kids (and Jason!) loved.

We then grabbed a quick lunch and  headed to the beach.  The  water was too chilly for my taste, but the kids loved it and I enjoyed sitting in the sun in the sand.

Not really sure what Caleb is doing here.  Jason built a "pool" that the kids loved to jump in.  But Caleb kept wanting to get his hair wet and then shake it off like a wet dog.  LOL!

So, it was a great few days.  When we got home we decorated for Christmas (or at least made a huge dent in it). The kids have been really excited to decorate the tree and to start filling those stockings!

Thanks to everyone who picked up my holiday grab bag this weekend. I hope you enjoyed it!  I had a lot of fun making it.  If you missed it, some (not all) of the products are now available in my shop.  Happy Scrapping!
