We're Back!

Hey Guys!  Oh we missed you!

Hello?

Anyone?

Oh Hi, Mom.

Umm. Anyone besides my mom still visiting this Bad Mama?

***


Anyway, we just got back from our annual summer trip to Cape Cod.

Oh man, I am still sandy, sweaty, and digesting pounds of fried seafood and homemade ice cream.

Bliss.

I learned a few very important lessons, though.

1) The packing of rain gear officially deters rain.

2) The fastidious application of sunscreen does not deter a pink nose.

3) I am not meant to be a gardener.


See Dad? I was only responsible for this one plant.
This is why I joined the CSA.

4) Ants can smell pineapple juice from miles away. Do not leave pineapple juice laden cups in the sink. Ever.

5) And what did you learn, Wee One?


"What's that Bud?"
"Dat da oh-shin!"

6) I'm sorry sir, but that large hat on your head does not draw my eyes away from the Speedo you are wearing. Men in Speedos are amusing.

7) No matter what the circumstances, the Big Boy awakes at 6:00am. Don't bother fighting it.

8) But, sun and sea can lead to a rare and beautiful event


Naptime.

9) Do not invest your heart in a sandcastle, especially with a nearly-two-year-old-Godzilla-wannabee nearby. Jerk.

10) There's no place like home.

    I'm still reading! Glad your big boy got naps (!) and the wee one enjoyed the Ocean. Maeve met the ocean this spring and all she did was wave. (not meant to be a pun, whoops!)
