New Sweaters

Sporting their new sweaters from Grandma

Grandma wasn't very happy that Carys was wearing Caedmon's coats (hey, whatever works, right? :) ), so she spent the couple days we were there looking for something girly and finally bought this sweater. She wasn't very happy with the colors, but a lady in town makes them and didn't have anything more girly at the time. Caedmon ended up with one as well and loved it!

Fun at the Beach

This was a couple weeks ago and yes, believe it or not, it was actually hot that day! A very "go get 'em" friend of mine asked if we wanted to go to the beach with a picnic lunch. Sometimes I'm tempted to just stay home even when something sounds like fun, just because it's easier with two kids. But I went and we had a lovely time. Now she was the one with the idea to grill brats over a little camping grill! I was all for packing sandwiches, but if she wanted to do the work, well, hey, I'd eat it!:)
The children had a great time in the water and in the sand as well as on the cool playground right next to the beach. I never made it past my calves in the water, by the time we had lunch, I fed Carys, and then tried to get her to go to sleep, which took awhile! But it was a good time - something I'd only do with another person along!:)

Trip to the Playground

Corey seems to be enjoying the playground as well!:)

Playground Fun

A friend drove up to visit this weekend and I took her to Friske's Orchard store. The shop has a bakery, cafe, and a large gift shop. We had a lot of fun and spent too much money (although I could have spent lots more!:))! When we finished our shopping, we figured it was Caedmon's turn to have some fun, so we took him to the playground right outside the shop. He loved it!
