Weekend Update

Happy Monday!  And a very happy Monday it is for me since I took one last day off before heading back to work on Tuesday.  If you’ve been following along with me on Instagram, you know that we have been at the beach for the last week.  Today I’m sending the kids to daycare and camp so I can use the whole day to finish unpacking, grocery shop, wash aaaall the dirty beach clothes, and get things back in order since we’ve been gone the past week.  It’s always nice to have the whole day (without kiddos getting in the way) to get everything back to normal.  Plus it’s nice to get back and not have to go back to work immediately.  And it will also be lovely to ease back into work with only a four day week.  Winning any way you look at it!

Well, I’m just rambling on and on... 

So anyway, we got in early Sunday afternoon and we were reunited with our little Maui who was beside herself to see us.  We were gone so long I’m sure she was positive that we were never coming back.  Poor thing!  We then had Mex for dinner with my parents since we had all just gotten back into town and nobody felt like cooking.  They left a few days before we did to go to Texas to see my brother and sis-in-law and to meet their new grandbaby, so we hadn’t seen them in over two weeks.  Eeeek.  That might be the longest I’ve gone without seeing them!  It was nice to catch up and tell them all about our trip, and for them to tell us all about their trip as well.

As much as I wanted to have a beach recap up for you today, I knew that was not realistic as I have 1,200+ pictures to sort through and edit, plus margaritas were calling my name because I’m trying to hang on to the last bit of vacation before reality sets in again.  I will tell you that we did have the very best time, though.  The weather was incredible, and surprisingly not too hot.  We spent the week lazing on the beach, playing in the pool, eating tons of delicious food, drinking fruity beach cocktails every day, eating ice cream every night, and spending lots of time together.  We made oodles of memories that we will all treasure forever and I wouldn’t trade this time with my favorite people for anything in the whole universe.

I will have part one of the beach recap up in the next day or two, assuming I don’t drown in the ocean of pictures.  And since no blog post would be complete without a picture, here’s a little snippet from our trip.  Enjoy the start of your new week!
